This project aims to quantify the degree to which Australian plant species have responded to changes in climate over the last few decades, and to build understanding of the mechanisms that underpin responses to climate change. It seeks to fill critical knowledge gaps about the way heatwaves, freezing temperatures and temperature variability affect plants. The project aims to introduce a novel approach that will allow assessment of physiological and morphological change in response to recent climate change in the absence of historic data. Improved accuracy in identifying species that will have trouble responding to climate change would allow managers to more effectively target their resources to maximise biodiversity and ecosystem function.

该项目旨在量化过去几十年澳大利亚植物物种对气候变化的反应程度，并加深对支持气候变化反应的机制的理解。它旨在填补有关热浪、冰冻温度和温度变化影响植物方式的关键知识空白。该项目旨在引入一种新颖的方法，可以在缺乏历史数据的情况下评估针对近期气候变化的生理和形态变化。提高识别难以应对气候变化的物种的准确性将使管理者能够更有效地瞄准其资源，以最大限度地提高生物多样性和生态系统功能。
