Mesocosms allow ecological processes to be studied at scales intermediate between the field and laboratory. We will establish a native plant mesocosm, allowing us to accurately manipulate environmental factors such as soil moisture, mineral nutrients and temperature. This will enable us to assess how plants adjust resource allocation patterns and determine genotypic and phenotypic responses to varying environmental conditions. Such research will provide insight into how native plants persist in and adapt to changing environmental conditions. The facility will strengthen existing collaboration with NSW NPWS, enhance post-graduate and post-doctoral training, and provide improved conservation and management outcomes for native plants.

中尺度生态系统允许在介于野外和实验室之间的尺度上研究生态过程。我们将建立一个本土植物中附体，使我们能够准确地操纵土壤水分、矿物养分和温度等环境因素。这将使我们能够评估植物如何调整资源分配模式，并确定对不同环境条件的基因和表型反应。这样的研究将为本土植物如何坚持和适应不断变化的环境条件提供洞察。该设施将加强与新南威尔士州NPWS的现有合作，加强研究生和博士后培训，并为本土植物提供更好的保护和管理成果。
