How do vegetation responses to CEW delivery vary between sites with different channel features and different bank conditions? Differences observed in 2014-15 were not seen in 2015. Need longer data set (Webb et al. 2017). Does the CEW contribution to spring freshes and high flows trigger germination and new growth of native riparian vegetation on the banks of the lower Goulburn River? Increases in cover on banks inundated by freshes in 2014-15 were not observed in 2015-16 – attributed to drier conditions pre sampling (Webb et al. 2017). How does CEW delivered as low flows and freshes at other times of the year contribute to maintaining new growth and recruitment on the banks of the lower Goulburn River? Conditions are not discussed in terms of CEW – just other conditions (local climate, antecedent conditions) in between flows (Webb et al. 2017).
