Funded Activity Summary

Global change in the sub-antarctic - Temperature response of vascular plant species from Macquarie and Heard Islands. The aim is to understand how subantarctic and alpine plant species that have evolved, respectively, in equable and highly variable temperature regimes will respond to increase in temperature resulting from global warming and climate change. The proposed project will identify species that are likely to benefit from, or are vulnerable to, rising temperatures. Processes underlying adaptation and acclimation of plant growth to increasing temperature will also be identified. These results will be significant for conservation of biodiversity and management of Australia's unique subantarctic and alpine flora.
