The AusCarbon biodiversity model includes planting of up to thirty native and endemic species, replicating natural vegetation that existed prior to land clearing. Provenance seeds are collected specifically for each project. AusCarbon’s model creates a resilient forest that maximises growth and therefore carbon sequestration.
AusCarbon model provides the following characteristics and advantages:
- Large self sustaining forests
- Land ownership by AusCarbon (returning prime land to farmers)
- Compatibility planning to match vegetation to land and soil
- Large scale project capacity
- Direct benefit to regional environment and local farming community
