The woodlands and forests of the New England Tablelands face a variety of threats that have dramatically reduced their condition and extent over the past 160 years of landscape modification. Some of these threats include fragmentation, dieback, climate change, loss of genetic diversity, and agricultural land modification. These threats are well known scientifically, but also within the farming community, as the subsequent removal of trees from the farming landscape has been shown to negatively affect the overall health of farming productivity and the biodiversity that supports it. Revegetation and woodland-friendly farming practices that support natural regeneration are the main tools to stabilise and restore these threatened ecological communities (TECs). The following sections discuss the known issues threatening woodlands on the tablelands, including Fragmentation, New-England Dieback, Climate Change, loss of genetic diversity, and grazing.
