Climate change has the potential to invalidate many traditional assumptions about native vegetation management. It is an area that requires ongoing and additional support, particularly the development of a greater understanding about the potential impacts and management interventions at the regional level. Managing the uncertainty that climate change brings is a key area for future research.
