About the Report
An experimental study was carried out on the Magela Creek Floodplain in Kakadu National Park between 1997 and 2000. The aims of the experiment study were to:
- assess the impact of Para grass (Urochloa mutica) on faunal biodiversity and ecosystem processes (community metabolism and trophic pathways) of tropical wetlands;
- assess the effectiveness of herbicide treatments in the control Para grass, and;
- determine the impact of chemical control of Para grass on wetland biodiversity and ecosystem processes, and to monitor recovery in treated areas.
