Following the removal of livestock the following trends were found: increased re-generation of snowgum seedlings; decreased shrub component on the deeper soils, the pattern of decrease being dependent upon the species of shrub encountered; regression towards the climax mean ground cover in both stable and open snowgrass tussock swards.
