Native grasses selected for agriculture, revegetation and amenity use in Tasmania,Australia

摘要：

The potential of Australian native grasses for use as domesticated species has been recognised since the 1980s (Oram and Lodge,2003).In Tasmania, A ustrodanthonia spp., M icrolaena stipoides, Elymus scaber, Poaspp. and Stipaspp. still predominate in natural grassy vegetation used for sheep grazing (Garden et al.,1996), and native grasses have re‐ established in many pastures sown to introduced species. Ecotypes of these grasses offer the greatest potential to replace introduced pasture species that have failed to persist in the low-rainfall, extensive grazing areas of Tasmania, as well as for revegetation of degraded areas and for amenity or recreational use (Oram and Lodge,2003).
