Australia's climate and weather are temporally variable, yet we know little of how Australia's flora is affected by temporally variable vs constant supplies of water and nutrients. In addition, climate change will affect our flora by, among other things, increasing temporal variability in water and nutrient availability. This program of research will provide basic data on growth responses to variable vs. constant water and nutrient availability. Hence, results will be directly applicable to predicting the effects of climate change on growth, species' distribution and community composition. This research will also improve our basic understanding of limitations to photosynthesis, transpiration and nutrient uptake/assimilation.

澳大利亚的气候和天气是随时间变化的，但我们对澳大利亚的植物群是如何受到随时间变化的水和养分的持续供应的影响知之甚少。 此外，气候变化将影响我们的植物群，除其他外，增加水和养分供应的时间变化。 这项研究计划将提供关于生长对可变与恒定水和养分供应的反应的基本数据。 因此，研究结果将直接适用于预测气候变化对生长，物种分布和群落组成的影响。 这项研究还将提高我们对光合作用、蒸腾作用和养分吸收/同化的限制的基本理解。
