This project aims to use cutting-edge and transdisciplinary tools in partnership with Aboriginal people to rediscover deliberate prehistoric plant dispersal pathways along the Australian east coast. By working on three unrelated species with similar disjunct distributions, expected outcomes include detecting significant ‘cultural’ vegetation patterns that will challenge current assumptions about 'natural' plant distributions. New associations between plant biogeography and deliberate Aboriginal manipulation of Australian environments will benefit cultural heritage, land management and restoration initiatives.

该项目旨在与原住民合作，使用尖端的跨学科工具，重新发现澳大利亚东海岸故意的史前植物传播路径。通过对具有相似分离分布的三个不相关物种进行研究，预期结果包括检测到重要的“文化”植被模式，这将挑战当前关于“自然”植物分布的假设。植物生物地理学与原住民对澳大利亚环境的故意操纵之间的新联系将有利于文化遗产、土地管理和恢复举措。
