This project aims to deliver a comprehensive, integrated understanding of the capacity for resilience and drivers of response of highly vulnerable alpine species and communities to climate change. The project aims to determine how communities of interacting alpine plants, soil invertebrates and microbes can cope with or evolve to novel climatic conditions. The mountains are water towers critical to power supply and Australia's agricultural productivity. Understanding physiological tolerance and the potential for rapid evolutionary responses of plants, animals and communities is necessary to predict impacts of climate change on the future productivity of the vulnerable Australian Alps and to provide novel options for climate adaptation.

该项目旨在对高度脆弱的高山物种和社区对气候变化的反应能力以及驱动力的能力进行全面，综合的了解。该项目旨在确定相互作用的高山植物，土壤无脊椎动物和微生物的社区如何应对或演变为新的气候条件。山是对电源和澳大利亚农业生产力至关重要的水塔。必须了解生理耐受性以及动植物对植物，动物和社区的快速进化反应的潜力，以预测气候变化对脆弱澳大利亚阿尔卑斯山未来生产力的影响，并为气候适应提供新颖的选择。
