The share of young seedlings browsed by kangaroos and wallabies in the first vulnerable summer, before stems are tall enough to grow away from grazing height.
Native marsupial browsing can damage 15–30% of unprotected seedlings in the first summer; managed sites hold this well into single figures.
DPIRD WA ↗Browsing is an establishment risk that is entirely manageable — and far cheaper to prevent than to fix. A rising rate flags that local marsupial pressure is outrunning your control effort and threatening the stocking the whole rotation depends on.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Time planting and control to local marsupial population pressure.
Use repellents or guards on high-pressure boundary rows.
Survey early so browsing is caught before it compounds into gaps.
