Floodplain vegetation in Australia has suffered severe degradation from river regulation but there is limited understanding of the functioning, responses and requirements of the ecosystem's most critical species, the River Red Gum. We will address three knowledge gaps needed for effective management of floodplain river red gums by assessing current and past health, determining stressors affecting health and by building a model for predicting future health based on projected trends. Outcomes from this study will help land managers to prioritise environmental flow allocations based on the requirements for sustaining future river red gum populations.

澳大利亚的洪泛区植被因河流调节而严重退化，但人们对生态系统中最重要的物种——红胶河——的功能、反应和需求的了解有限。 我们将通过评估当前和过去的健康状况、确定影响健康的压力因素以及建立基于预测趋势预测未来健康状况的模型，来解决有效管理洪泛区红桉树所需的三个知识差距。 这项研究的结果将帮助土地管理者根据维持未来河流红桉种群的要求确定环境流量分配的优先顺序。
