Natural Area can undertake monitoring of revegetation projects as well as sampling and analysis programs for water quality. Revegetation monitoring is usually based on success criteria and targets that are established during revegetation planning. Monitoring can include photo monitoring and monitoring of permanent quadrats and transects marked out with GPS; recording species numbers, survival and diversity. Natural Area can monitor all aspects of projects including species richness, cover, health and condition, and percentage survival to determine if success criteria have been met. Sampling and analysis can also be undertaken of groundwater, surface water and soil.
Natural Area can undertake water sampling of both aquatic ecosystems and ponds in accordance with relevant standards (i.e. AS/NZS 5667.1.1998 - Water Quality Sampling and Australia and New Zealand Water Quality Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Waters) to assess and monitor water quality, including but not limited to; full range of water chemistry including organics (hydrocarbons, PAH, pesticides, volatiles and PCB), inorganics, microbiological and nutrient, temperature, chlorophyll, TDS, TSS, salinity and depth. Our consultants can complete sampling for baseline data assessments as well as water quality assessments and monitoring against relevant guideline values.
Natural Area can undertake monitoring of revegetated areas to evaluate the success of plant stock and survival rates. Our consultants can assess vegetation condition against predetermined completion criteria and may undertake monitoring over several years to monitor the progress of revegetated areas.
