Climate change poses a dire threat to Australia's biodiversity and natural resources due to its all-encompassing reach and the speed at which human-driven changes are taking place in already heavily modified systems. The proposed research, on modelling the synergistic impacts of anthropogenic threats, will provide new knowledge and innovative solutions for protecting unique ecosystems facing severe environmental challenges this century. The validation of these new methods, which aim to capture ecological responses to global change, will represent a major and timely addition to the national research capability on climate change adaptation, and add to Australia's reputation as a global leader in the field of ecology.

气候变化对澳大利亚的生物多样性和自然资源构成了严重威胁，因为气候变化的影响范围广泛，而且在已经发生重大变化的系统中，人类驱动的变化正在迅速发生。拟议的研究是关于人为威胁的协同影响的建模，将为保护本世纪面临严峻环境挑战的独特生态系统提供新的知识和创新的解决方案。这些新方法旨在捕捉对全球变化的生态反应，这些方法的验证将是对国家适应气候变化研究能力的重大和及时的补充，并增加澳大利亚作为生态领域全球领导者的声誉。
