Explanation:
Page 6: For the same reason the rough, partially filled rocky batters should also assist trapping and establishment of a range of natural river borne seed such as Barringtonia. Consequently, the natural return of native plant species should be greatly assisted by the coarse textured slopes.

P78: River-borne seed dissemination in the valley is already negated by the present dam as the seeds become water-logged and decompose at the bottom of the dam.

Alpines grow at high altitudes, they are usually very small plants that are used to growing in extreme temperatures. They are usually hardy and may be evergreen woody plants, deciduous or herbaceous.
