Australia's forests are a critical natural resource that must be sustainably managed. We will determine the uptake/release of carbon from old growth and regrowth forests and assess the water budgets of the Melbourne water catchment. We aim to understand the current cycles of carbon, water and energy and how these may change over time (hours to centuries). We will integrate our observations with state-of-the-art models to improve our predictions of how forests will respond to change. This will aid our management of forests and forested catchments to ensure sustainable and viable water resources and optimise carbon sequestration.

澳大利亚的森林是一种重要的自然资源，必须加以可持续管理。 我们将确定从旧的增长和再生森林的碳的吸收/释放，并评估墨尔本集水区的水预算。我们的目标是了解目前的碳，水和能源的循环，以及它们如何随着时间的推移（几个小时到几个世纪）而变化。 我们将把我们的观察结果与最先进的模型相结合，以改善我们对森林如何应对变化的预测。 这将有助于我们管理森林和森林集水区，以确保可持续和可行的水资源，并优化碳固存。
