Brief description Rapid delineation of genetic provenance for rehabilitation and revegetation of native plant communities. The rehabilitation and/or revegetation of degraded, remnant or post-mining bushland is an increasingly important activity. Data and general principles for the delineation of genetic provenance are urgently required for effective rehabilitation, as well as for the conservation of genetic diversity. We will apply a new and powerful genetic technique for the rapid delineation of provenance in over 30 native plant species in south west Australia. Our aim is to generate provenance guidelines and principles, as well as provenance data for the most important species for bushland rehabilitation, which will be produced for rehabilitation practitioners through a "provenance atlas" book.
