The aim of this project is to quantify the links between water resources, vegetation health and biodiversity in small native and remnant vegetation reserves embedded in urban environments. The project will examine four reserves within Greater Melbourne hosting native tree species (river red gum), identified as vulnerable or endangered, and experiencing different rainfall regimes as well as water management practices. The specific objectives are to quantify water requirements and carbon balances, and to test a set of measurement methods (in situ and remote sensing) to relate water use with tree growth and biodiversity in urban reserves. Based on these studies, the project aims to develop a model for water balance and vegetation growth to assist in the management of urban reserves and parks.

该项目的目的是量化嵌入城市环境中的小型原生和残余植被保护区的水资源、植被健康和生物多样性之间的联系。该项目将检查大墨尔本内的四个保护区，这些保护区拥有被确定为脆弱或濒危的本土树种（河红胶），并经历不同的降雨制度以及水管理做法。具体目标是量化水需求和碳平衡，并测试一套测量方法（现场和遥感），将城市保护区的用水与树木生长和生物多样性联系起来。在这些研究的基础上，该项目旨在开发一个水平衡和植被生长模型，以协助管理城市保护区和公园。
