LTU Exo Survey

Parastic plants are keystone resources in forests and woodlands.
Exocarpos cupressiformis is the most widespread root parasitic shrub in eastern Australia, but we know next to nothing of its distribution, hosts or life history. This project aims to collect detailed distribution data for Exocarpos cupressiformis in Shelbourne NCR throughout the dry forests of central Victoria, including size, health, and surrounding vegetation composition.
