Concern about tree decline in rural landscape is widespread, and disturbingly climate change is predicted to exacerbate this problem. Past ill-considered tree plantings have proven to be economically wasteful, achieved limited ecological resilience and negligible improvement of biodiversity values. Using Tasmania as a 'model system', we will advance this problem by undertaking research to determine how seedling establishment, tree growth, carbon storage and water use are influenced by landscape setting, management history, climate change, species type and local varieties. This research will provide a much needed evidence to devise ecologically sustainable tree-plantings in southern Australia.

人们普遍担心农村景观中的树木减少，令人不安的是，气候变化预计将加剧这一问题。过去考虑不周的植树已被证明是经济上的浪费，实现了有限的生态恢复力和生物多样性价值的微不足道的改善。使用塔斯马尼亚州作为一个“模型系统”，我们将通过研究来确定幼苗建立，树木生长，碳储存和水的使用是如何受到景观设置，管理历史，气候变化，物种类型和当地品种的影响，从而推进这个问题。 这项研究将为在澳大利亚南部设计生态可持续的植树造林提供急需的证据。
