Many degraded areas in the Carnarvon region of WA have eroded duplex soils with exposed clay B horizons. These soils are often scalded and are inherently saline and sodic. Natural regeneration of these degraded soils is slow due to the effects of poor infiltration and lack of sites for seed entrapment. Direct seeding techniques employing cultivation and soil ameliorants are being tested to improve the establishment of native shrubs
