Rising atmospheric CO2 and the associated changes in rainfall regimes are rapidly reshaping how Australia’s forest ecosystems function and underpin our daily life. Whether Australia’s native Eucalyptus trees can withstand the impacts of climate extremes such as drought and heat under rising CO2 is a crucial question that this project aims to resolve. Using an innovative framework that integrates novel knowledge, data assimilation and ecosystem modelling, this project will provide critically needed evidence to disentangle the multifaceted impacts of climate change to Eucalyptus trees. This will help reduce the predictive uncertainty in assessing the vulnerability and resilience of Eucalyptus forests in the changing Australian landscape.

大气二氧化碳的上升以及降雨制度的相关变化正在迅速重塑澳大利亚的森林生态系统如何运作并支撑我们的日常生活。澳大利亚的本地桉树是否可以承受在二氧化碳升起的二氧化碳中的干旱和热量等极端气候的影响，这是该项目旨在解决的关键问题。使用创新的框架，该框架将新知识，数据同化和生态系统建模整合在一起，该项目将提供迫切需要的证据，以使气候变化对桉树的多方面影响。这将有助于减少评估不断变化的澳大利亚景观中桉树森林的脆弱性和韧性的预测性不确定性。
