This project will endeavour to improve restoration technologies aimed at reconstructing diverse and resilient new plant communities following disturbance. The factors which govern successful outcomes of restoration are not fully understood. Current restoration practices rely on the soil microbial community to generate key microbial ecosystem services but their function in novel post-mining substrates modified with soil ameliorants is limited. The project aims to use next-generation DNA sequencing to elucidate the structure and function of microbial ecosystem dynamics in modified substrates and apply this understanding to improve restoration outcomes for species and communities affected by the expansion of mining activities in the Pilbara and nationally.

该项目将努力改进恢复技术，以便在干扰后重建多样化和有复原力的新植物群落。影响修复成功的因素尚未完全了解。目前的恢复做法依赖于土壤微生物群落产生关键的微生物生态系统服务，但其功能在新的采矿后的土壤改良剂改性基板是有限的。该项目旨在利用下一代DNA测序来阐明改性基质中微生物生态系统动态的结构和功能，并将这一认识应用于改善皮尔巴拉和全国受采矿活动扩大影响的物种和社区的恢复成果。
