This project aims to examine the process of ecosystem re-assembly on land which is taken out of agricultural production and left without further management. Land abandonment is common in many parts of the world and could increase dramatically in Australia due to land degradation, salinity and structural change. We will investigate the factors which influence whether native plant species can recolonise abandoned farmland, using field and greenhouse studies. We will do this within the context of ecosystem assembly, thereby answering a practical question and also providing input to a conceptual area which is currently of great interest in

该项目旨在研究从农业生产中撤出且没有进一步管理的土地上的生态系统重组过程。土地遗弃在世界上许多地方都很常见，由于土地退化、盐碱化和结构变化，土地遗弃在澳大利亚可能会急剧增加。我们将通过实地和温室研究，调查影响本地植物物种能否在废弃农田重新定居的因素。我们将在生态系统组装的背景下这样做，从而回答一个实际问题，并为目前非常感兴趣的概念领域提供投入
