appendix_4_guidelines_for_clearing_time-6c8f80c2d380fe46.pdf
Summary
The document outlines time-allocation tables for clearing different types of vegetation, including trees that do not coppice, trees that coppice (requiring herbicide), bushy species, and follow-up activities. Clearing times are scaled by the age of the vegetation and the density of the infestation, ranging from 'Scarce' (5.1–25%) to 'Closed' (75.1–100%).
Key insights
- Clearing time requirements vary significantly based on whether trees coppice; trees that coppice require herbicide and generally take longer to clear than those that do not. For example, in a 'Closed' infestation (75.1–100%) for age group 1–5, trees that do not coppice (category 'a') are assigned 20.00 units of time, while trees that coppice (category 'a') are assigned 34.45 units.
- The guidelines categorize infestation levels by percentage: Scarce (5.1–25%), Scattered (25.1–50%), Moderate (50.1–75%), Dense (75.1–100%), and Closed (75.1–100%).
- Specific time allocations are provided for follow-up activities, distinguishing between hand pulling and foliar spray methods across different infestation densities.
