Along the Australian eastern seaboard, historical installation of floodgates on coastal wetlands has altered the hydrology and biogeochemistry of these systems with subsequent deterioration in their ecological integrity. This project will investigate structural and functional links between hydrology, vegetation and threatened waterbirds in wetlands of the New South Wales north coast. We will develop GIS-based ecological models to identify how these links are spatially and temporally altered by floodgate manipulation. Our overarching aim is to develop scientifically-validated protocols for floodgate manipulations that will aid managers in conserving the ecological integrity of coastal floodplain wetlands.

沿着澳大利亚东海岸，历史上在沿海湿地安装的水闸改变了这些系统的水文和生物地球化学，随后导致其生态完整性恶化。 该项目将调查新南威尔士州北海岸湿地的水文、植被和受威胁水鸟之间的结构和功能联系。 我们将开发基于地理信息系统的生态模型，以确定这些链接如何通过闸门操纵在空间和时间上发生改变。 我们的首要目标是制定经过科学验证的水闸操纵协议，以帮助管理者保护沿海洪泛区湿地的生态完整性。
