Brief description Accelerating species richness gains and carbon sequestration in secondary regrowth in north Queensland. Tropical abandoned lands offer important opportunities to increase carbon storage and conserve biodiversity. However, natural forest regeneration is slow and frequently inhibited by woody weeds. The project will involve a collaboration between eminent tropical biologists and the carbon-industry to devise innovative strategies to accelerate restoration of degraded land.
