Fire-resilient vegetation, dryland slope management, water-efficient establishment techniques, and coastal hinterland protection.
GASBE is currently identifying qualified practitioners for this zone.
Mediterranean landscapes face cyclical fire events that conventional revegetation ignores. Fire-resilient systems require species selection based on recovery capacity, fuel load management, and strategic establishment patterns that reduce fire spread risk.
Semi-arid slopes erode differently than temperate ones — intense but brief rainfall events cause surface crusting, rill formation, and gully development. Effective management combines water harvesting, strategic vegetation placement, and erosion-resistant soil amendments.
In regions where annual rainfall falls below 400mm, conventional hydroseeding wastes resources. Water-efficient establishment uses moisture-retaining biopolymers, strategic timing around rainfall events, and species adapted to prolonged drought stress.
