Molecular ecological analysis of vegetation function in fragmented Australian biomes

The aims of this project were to quantify the strength and scale of reproductive interactions among native plant populations occupying remnant vegetation patches in fragmented cropping landscapes in NSW and WA, assess their demographic significance in terms of progeny fitness and population viability and from this develop models of inter-patch interactions in relation to landscape configuration.

Understanding and determining mechanisms to prevent invasion in coastal vegetation

We investigated the effect of richness of different growth forms (functional richness), the arrival order (priority effects) and competitive interactions in mediating plant community resilience to invasion events. We constructed mesocosms composed of dune…

Managing Weeds Under Future Scenarios for Environmental Flows in the Murray River

This project examined relationships between hydrological parameters relating to flooding and the location and abundance of exotic plant species in River Murray floodplain systems.

Prevention and management of aquatic plant invasions in Australian rivers

Australian river systems are threatened by the severe effects of drought, bank erosion, sedimentation, pollutant inputs, urban development, and invasions by exotic aquatic plant species.

NPSI Strategic Plan Phase 2

The new Phase of NPSI will focus its investment on answering questions around: plant performance and how that impacts on various farm irrigation systems; system-level sustainability: and tools for irrigators, water suppliers and policy makers to measure change. Research will be commissioned to provide either new information (smart science) or development; ensuring that the new information can be readily used by practitioners, planners and policy makers.
