Landscape history and vegetation change in the Muckleford region of Victoria
This report summarises the major human activities and other events thought to have influenced change in native woody vegetation in the Muckleford area of central Victoria. Aerial photography obtained for 1946 and 2006 indicated changes in the extent of native woody vegetation, both decreases and increases, in the Muckleford study area. There has been great variation in activity and events across the study area, with spatial variation related to the presence of remnant native vegetation, type of land tenure (e.g. private farmland, state forests), agronomic potential (e.g. highproduction cropping, low-production grazing), and historical events (e.g. areas affected by the 1969 bushfire).
