The document describes a system called VAST-2 for tracking changes in native vegetation condition in Australia over time due to human activities. It uses a standardized set of ecological criteria and indicators to assess vegetation at sites being transformed by land management practices compared to reference sites. A case study applies VAST-2 to track changes in sand dune vegetation before, during, and after sand mining. The system can help land managers and ecologists understand landscape transformation and has potential applications for monitoring outcomes of activities like environmental restoration.
