Mapped with Field Maps / Not Treated. I sprayed a patch of PC in this area in 2025 and spread some Weeping grass. Observations: 1. many more PC compared to 2025 - I think because of massive overgrazing and still very large soil seed bank; low density where Weeping Grass grows but that may be the result of shade; photo shows Weeping grass in the front, a patch of PC in the middle ground, and bare eroding soil in the back ground (there is a change of slope and soil is shallower).
