Funded Activity Summary
Managing ecosystem change requires the integration of above and belowground hydrological processes at relevant scales. Unprecedented levels of keystone Banksia species mortality and an increased number of species with reduced capacity to provide vital ecosystem services is leading to ecosystem change and reduced resilience of Western Australian woodlands. In water sensitive ecosystems, failure to capture and integrate above- (tree function and ecology) and below-ground (soil hydrology and physics) processes at various scales (individual to landscape) has seen global tree decline remain unresolved. Using this approach, the project aims to identify processes leading to, and identify areas at high risk of, significant ecosystem change. Outcomes are expected to include the establishment a benchmark approach in understanding global ecosystem change to inform land management in a changing climate.Funded Activity Details
