Body
The T.G.B. Osborn Vegetation Reserve at Koonamore now has 70 years of records of vegetation change on its permanent quadrats and photopoints. On one of these a stand of mulga (Acacia aneura) has senesced and almost died. For 50 years, no seedling regeneration was recorded on the quadrat, but since 1978 dramatic regeneration has occurred. This correlates with exceptional rains in the mid 1970s, but also with vigorous rabbit control on the Reserve since 1970.
