    Taube, Melanie ( 1998-04)
    The use of nature-like plantings to ameliorate degraded public landscapes in Europe and North America is extensive.

An examination of suitable establishment and management techniques for flowering grasslands was undertaken at Fawkner Memorial Park. This site contains large areas of severely disturbed and degraded soils, due to past burial practices. Trials on the establishment of forbs via direct seeding and plug planting were undertaken. The management of bulb species by mowing was examined through foliage removal treatments post anthesis. The management of grass biomass through herbicides was also examined.
