Across Australia, the pressure is on to regenerate disturbed landscapes in methods that not only restore ecosystem function but also contribute to climate goals. Rehabilitation approaches that stop at quick greening are no longer enough.
The next generation of solutions must actively capture and store carbon while creating resilient soils that last. That’s exactly what BioGrowth™ was designed to do.
What is BioGrowth™?
BioGrowth™ is a regenerative revegetation program engineered to establish vegetation on highly disturbed sites while transforming them into active carbon sinks. It combines the power of rapid plant establishment with microbial soil science to rebuild soil health, stabilise landscapes and build stable soil carbon pools that can persist for decades when properly managed.
How the program works
The process begins with fast-growing vegetation that draws down atmospheric CO? through photosynthesis. This carbon is stored not only in plant shoots and roots but also within the soil itself. Unlike conventional rehabilitation, BioGrowth™ integrates microbially mediated amendments including multi-strain BioEnergetic microbes, biominerals, straw-based hydromulch and biochar. These inputs do more than boost fertility – they rebuild soil structure, stimulate microbial communities and accelerate the formation of stable carbon.
The role of microbes and roots
Latest soil science shows that stable carbon isn’t formed simply by adding organic matter. Instead, it depends on active interactions between plant roots and soil microbes.
- Plants convert CO? into carbon-rich root exudates
- Microbes transform these exudates into long-lived carbon pools: microbial biomass, glomalin-related soil proteins that act as “carbon-concrete,” and biofilms supported by biochar
- Over time, this creates humus – the backbone of soil resilience
The growth of mycorrhizal mycelium further strengthens the system, binding soil particles together, improving structure and tensile strength and mitigating erosion.
Environmental and climate benefits
BioGrowth™ doesn’t just store carbon. It reduces the need for heavy fertiliser and lime/gypsum inputs, along with the transport and spreading emissions associated with them. The result is a lower-emissions pathway to soil regeneration.
Over the long term, the system is designed to create a living soil sponge – a structure that holds water, supports biodiversity and restores full ecosystem function.
BioGrowth™ is the future of soil regeneration
This program offers a science-backed system that delivers measurable environmental outcomes. By combining microbial innovation with natural processes, it transforms degraded soils into resilient, self-sustaining carbon stores. For project managers, contractors and land rehabilitation specialists, BioGrowth™ offers a proven, low-emissions solution that goes beyond revegetation to restore true soil function and support Australia’s climate goals.
