Aquatic plants improve water quality and provide habitat for aquatic animals, which underpin industries such as tourism and commercial fisheries critical to economies in regional areas and across Australia. Preserving plant biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems is vital to preserve these benefits. Dispersal plays a critical role in maintaining plant biodiversity and requires understanding at landscape scales. This project will identify appropriate approaches for the conservation of plant biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems through an improved understanding of the contribution of wind, water and waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic plants. This project will also identify water flow regimes that promote a diverse and sustainable aquatic flora.

水生植物改善水质，为水生动物提供栖息地，这支撑了旅游业和商业渔业等行业，这些行业对区域地区和整个澳大利亚的经济至关重要。保护水生生态系统的植物多样性对保护这些利益至关重要。扩散在维持植物生物多样性方面起着至关重要的作用，需要在景观尺度上加以理解。该项目将通过更好地了解风、水和水鸟在水生植物扩散中的作用，确定保护水生生态系统中植物生物多样性的适当方法。该项目还将确定促进多样化和可持续水生植物群的水流机制。
