As this account is the first for Riverbend Farm, the account contains reference benchmark and baseline assessment data. The assessment units show exceptionally high Econd® scores (for non-grazing assessment units), which reduce for the sub-asset and asset scores. This is due to the aggregation of grazing assessment units, which have an assumed score of 0/100. The grazing land comprises exotic pasture species and would not score highly for the effort involved in conducting field assessments. With 255 hectares to grazing and just over 40 hectares to native vegetation, the focus on productive farming as the dominant land use is reflected as weightings apply to account for this as well as site context. The large remnant area (AU EVC16 Remnant) has an Econd® of 70.4 with only tree canopy cover and native perennial grasses as the two indicators outside the reference range. As a remnant area, this site is as self-organised as possible in a modified landscape, and not much can be done to adjust the management of this assessment unit. If additional plantings are possible under the nature covenant, adding some native grasses would be an option. The smaller remnant area (EVC18 Riparian Forest) also scores very high with 47.8; most of the indicators are outside of the reference range, which is quite surprising for a riparian zone. The sub-canopy and shrub layers are much higher than the reference benchmark. It should be questioned in future accounts if this is remnant vegetation or revegetation/regeneration, as fencing off the waterway is a recent change on the property. The grazed scattered paddock trees (EVC16 grazing remnant) score 12.5, as only tree canopy height and cover are within the reference range. As this is grazing paddocks, the living trees could benefit from being fenced off and allowing some regeneration of understorey, which would improve the AU Econd® over time. Overall, the property Econd® is significantly reduced by weightings between native vegetation and grazing area. As a commercial grazing enterprise, this is to be expected. Small management practices to increase assessment unit Econd® are possible and should increase the property Econd® by 10%.
