Description

Invasive grasses are a major risk to biodiversity across northern Australia. High-impact invasive grasses are already established across the region and pose a significant management challenge in protected areas.

This project aims to support the strategic management of invasive grasses in northern Australia – in particular, gamba grass, para grass and olive hymenachne – to reduce their impacts on biodiversity. This project will provide support to managers of protected areas and Indigenous ranger groups through co-development of user-friendly mapping, monitoring and decision-support tools.

The 3 key species of invasive grass are listed in the Australian Government’s Threatened species action plan 2022–2032 (TSAP) and the 2012 Threat abatement plan to reduce the impacts on northern Australia’s biodiversity by the 5 listed grasses (TAP). The project is collaborating with research users to address Target 10 of the TSAP that, by 2027, ‘Gamba grass is reduced to an area less than its 2022 range’, and all 6 objectives of the TAP.

Key research areas

To address these challenges and support Indigenous rangers and other land managers in best-practice management of invasive grasses, this project is:

  • incorporating technological innovations into weed-mapping tools by developing a new invasive-grass data-capture system
  • developing user-friendly decision-support tools for planning and evaluating weed control to support adaptive management by:
    • updating the invasive-grass spread model
    • updating the invasive-grass management-scenario tool
    • developing a strategic weed adaptive-management platform
  • assessing invasive grass management actions and ecosystem recovery.

Pathway to impact

This project will support strategic management of invasive grasses by:

  • co-developing mapping, monitoring and decision-support tools with land managers and Indigenous partners
  • improving how invasive-grass control is planned, prioritised and evaluated
  • supporting more effective threat-abatement programs for gamba grass, para grass and olive hymenachne
  • helping managers protect biodiversity, cultural values and priority places across northern Australia.
