Funded Activity Summary

Quantifying salinity risk to biodiversity. While dryland salinity is recognised as a major threat to Australia's biodiversity the exact nature of this threat is unclear. This collaborative project will provide clarity on salinity threats through the development of an ecologically meaningful approach to quantifying salinity. It takes an innovative approach, fusing ecology, salinity mapping and modelling with landholder engagement. We will measure the impacts of salinity on frog and reptile diversity, examining direct and indirect effects in the lab and field. Outcomes from this research will assist rural stakeholders in making informed choices about where salinity remedial actions are best undertaken to minimise biodiversity loss.
