The aim of this project is to develop and test a new approach for assessing the conservation value of agricultural landscapes in Australia. It is based on identifying the functional responses of the fauna to the extent and pattern of native vegetation and types and intensity of agricultural land-uses in whole landscapes. Different response types will be interpreted in relation to ecological characteristics of species. We will use this knowledge to predict the status of birds and mammals in novel landscapes in three bioregions, and test the predictions by field studies. This new landscape-level approach will help land managers assess present agricultural environments as well as evaluate scenarios for future changes in land-use.

该项目的目的是开发和测试一种评估澳大利亚农业景观的保护价值的新方法。 它基于在整个景观中确定本地植被以及农业陆地使用的强度的程度和模式的动物响应。 不同的反应类型将与物种的生态特征有关。 我们将使用这些知识来预测三个生物区域中新型景观中鸟类和哺乳动物的状态，并通过现场研究测试预测。 这种新的景观级别方法将帮助土地管理者评估当前的农业环境，并评估未来土地使用变化的方案。
