Funded Activity Summary

Managing complex networks in endangered grasslands to restore food webs. This project aims to quantify the impacts of native and non-native animal consumer removal by examining food webs in endangered grasslands. Grasslands are Australia’s largest biome yet land-use changes, livestock and invasive plants, have altered entire food webs, including the integrity of ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling. Measuring disrupted food webs in field experiments, then modelling the impacts of mammals to invertebrates, will assist managers in making more effective decisions relating to ecosystem integrity. Understanding the consequences of biodiversity loss including implications for ecosystem resilience is crucial to Australia’s future food production, carbon sequestration and hydrological flows.
