Funded Activity Summary
Predicting the causes and consequences of plant invasions. Invasive plants are one of the most costly and significant environmental threats in Australia. To deal with this threat we need to understand how and why certain plant species are able to invade into and dominate native communities. The aim of this project is to uncover the rules that govern this environmental threat. The project endeavours to use theory to predict the outcomes that would be observed given different underlying rules, and then test these predictions with field experiments. By uncovering the rules that govern invasions, this project could provide fundamental knowledge to assist in managing the environmental threat posed by new and emerging weeds.Funded Activity Details
