In the Falkland Islands the coastal grasslands are the most valuable for wool production and important habitats for wildlife. Tussac grass (Parodiochloa flabellata Lam.) and sandy areas which support an Ammophilia - Elymus association have been degraded by overgrazing, burning and invasion by alien flora and fauna. Traditional approaches to restoration, mainly by replanting, have had limited success. Research on
