Restoration target level 1 – A degree of compositional and structural fidelity to the reference ecosystem. The canopy layer and at least one other stratum must be represented. The dominant stratum/ strata from the relevant reference ecosystem must be represented. Some verified reduction in non-native cover or moderate level of non-native cover.
Restoration target level 2 – Moderate degree of compositional and structural fidelity to the relevant reference ecosystem. The canopy layer and at least two other strata must be represented. The dominant stratum/ strata from the relevant reference ecosystem must be represented. Moderate reductions in non-native cover or low level of non-native cover.
Restoration target level 3 – High degree of compositional and structural fidelity to the reference ecosystem for the activity area. All strata from the relevant reference ecosystem must be present. High reduction in non-native cover or low level of non-native cover.
Restoration target level 4 – Very high degree of compositional and structural fidelity to the relevant reference ecosystem. All strata from the reference ecosystem must be present. Significant reductions in non-native cover or very low level of non-native cover.
