Abstract

A range of human activities have left their impact on the landscape of southwest WA, including - but not restricted to - climate change. Various experts have argued that it is impossible to return these already drastically altered ecosystems to what they once were, and that future climatic changes may render such historical landscapes obsolete. However, it has also been suggested that society expects a return to particular (historical) ecosystem states.
