Tree declines are prevalent throughout rural and metropolitan Australia. Apart from loss of habitat, biodiversity, shade and aesthetics, tree death is a financial burden to land managers. This project will increase our understanding of factors that drive tree declines by: (a) understanding changes in hydrological processes that occur through declining rainfall or ground water use; (b) exploring tree nutrient requirements in relation to soil fertility and land management; (c) identifying revegetation strategies for disturbed lands; and (c) through linking environmental correlates with tuart decline. It will provide the community with tools to mitigate decline such as though improved revegetation strategies

树木的减少在澳大利亚的农村和大城市都很普遍。除了栖息地、生物多样性、树荫和美学的丧失之外，树木的死亡对土地管理者来说是一种经济负担。该项目将通过以下方式增加我们对导致树木减少的因素的理解：(a)了解由于降雨或地下水利用减少而发生的水文过程的变化；(b)探讨树木在土壤肥力和土地管理方面的养分需求；(c)确定受干扰土地的植被战略；(c)将环境因素与人口减少联系起来。它将为社区提供缓解衰退的工具，例如改进的植被恢复战略
