Rebecca is a PhD Candidate whose research interests lie in understanding the interactions between native plants, soil, and livestock grazing to inform the effective restoration and sustainable management of Australia's rangelands. Rebecca's ongoing project utilises the 100-year livestock and rabbit excluded TGB Osborn Vegetation Reserve as an ecological baseline, comparing it to adjacent grazed land at Koonamore, South Australia.
