Epacrids are important components of the Australian flora and several are considered threatened, yet we know relatively little regarding the importance of ericoid mycorrhizal fungal diversity to their survival. The proposed work will provide essential information on the functional significance of ericoid mycorrhizal endophyte diversity in the growth and survival of epacrids. It will further lead to improved propagation of epacrids and better informed decisions for sustainable management of Australian native vegetation.

Epacrids是澳大利亚植物群的重要组成部分，有几个被认为是受威胁的，但我们知道相对较少的杜鹃花菌根真菌多样性的重要性，他们的生存。这项工作将为研究杜鹃花科植物内生真菌多样性在epacrids生长和生存中的功能意义提供重要信息。它将进一步改善epacrids的繁殖，并为澳大利亚本土植被的可持续管理做出更明智的决定。
