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.

Assessment of Information Needs for Freshwater Flows into Australian Estuaries

This report was jointly commissioned by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation and Land & Water Australia to assess the information needs for freshwater flows into estuaries. This report is based on the results of a desk study together with the outputs from an expert workshop. It has the following objectives: create a logical framework showing the potential links between freshwater inflows and (more)...

A Landscape Approach to Determine the Ecological Value of Paddock Trees

Summary Report Years 1 and 2

This project aimed to assess the ecological value of scattered paddock trees at a landscape scale, using two approaches. This first was to undertake an intensive mapping program for two study areas in South Australia, equating to an area of 378,000 hectares, and the second to undertake a field study to assess how birds use paddock trees at various levels of tree cover.

Ecohydrological regionalisation of Australia

a tool for management and science

This report is a result of the Ecohydrological regionalisation of Australia project.

The project classified Australia’s unregulated riverine flow regimes to provide a rigorous foundation for future ecological investigations of the importance…

Delivering Sustainability through Risk Management - Summary Report

This report summarise the outputs and key lessons from National Program for Sustainable Irrigation (NPSI) funded project UMO45 Delivering Sustainability through Risk Management, which was designed to achieve an improved level of adoption of ecological risk assessment and risk management methods in the Australian irrigation industry and in regulatory agencies. Adoption of risk-based approaches is considered to be vital if the industry is to achieve its (more)...

Ecological risk assessment case study for the Murray Irrigation region - Report 2

This report - Ecological Risk Assessment Case Study for the Murray Irrigation Region - is the second in a series of five produced by NPSI project UMO45 Delivering Sustainability through Risk Management. An ecological risk assessment (ERA) was undertaken in the Murray irrigation region in southern NSW to assess the risks to the ecological values (or assets) from irrigation and other (more)...
