Tree Recruitment
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
This curve shows how a field measurement for this indicator would score across all available benchmark forms in this context.
Evidence & Context
A minimum stocking of 5 recruitment trees per hectare is considered sufficient to ensure that large old trees with hollows are replaced after they collapse and die thus ensuring the maintenance of tree hollows for wildlife in perpetuity.
Minimum stocking density of healthy overstorey trees with potential for future hollow development.
Critical overstorey-tier recruitment benchmark designed to ensure the continuous replenishment of habitat-providing old-growth canopy structures in dry temperate woodlands.
