Salt marshes play an essential role in maintaining Australia's coastal bio-diversity. They also function as barriers to fluxes of terrestrial pollutants to our coastal sea. Australia has a large number of salt marshes listed by the Ramsar Convention as coastal wetlands of international importance but many of them are subject to loss and degradation due to competing land uses. This project, examining in detail the flow and transport processes in marsh soils, will lead to (1) better understanding of the marsh's response to anthropogenic stress; and (2) improvement of strategies and methods for marsh wetland preservation and restoration.

盐沼在维持澳大利亚沿海生物多样性方面发挥着重要作用。它们还起到阻止陆地污染物流入我们沿海海洋的作用。澳大利亚有大量的盐沼，被《拉姆萨尔公约》列为具有国际重要性的沿海湿地，但其中许多盐沼由于竞争性的土地使用而遭受损失和退化。该项目详细研究了沼泽土壤中的流动和运输过程，将导致（1）更好地了解沼泽对人为压力的反应;（2）改进沼泽湿地保护和恢复的策略和方法。
