NESP MB Project E7 - Assessing the feasibility of restoring giant kelp beds in eastern Tasmania

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋生物多样性中心项目E7--“评估恢复塔斯马尼亚东部巨型海藻基地的可行性”的范围和研究成果。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> <br/> 该项目将延长2018年开始通过UTAS实施的一个外部资助项目，以筛选耐高温和耐低营养的巨藻(Macrocystis Pyrifera)基因，并检查所选基因通过预先暴露在温暖、营养不良的条件下驯化的影响。拟议的项目将在有或没有提供额外营养源的实验中，将预先暴露的选定基因型的巨藻作为微孢子体进行种植。这项工作旨在评估这种方法的可行性，作为一种手段，为巨型海带开发最小斑块尺寸，可以自我替换和自我扩展，从而为这个被EPBC列入名单的海洋群落提供恢复和未来气候保护的选择。<br/> <br/> 计划产量<br/> ·巨囊藻修复实验数据<br/> ·最终报告

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project E7 - "Assessing the feasibility of restoring giant kelp beds in eastern Tasmania". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> <br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> This project will extend an externally funded project conducted through UTAS commencing in 2018 to select for thermally tolerant and low-nutrient-tolerant giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) genotypes, and to examine effects of acclimation of selected genotypes by pre-exposure to warm, nutrient-poor conditions. The proposed project will outplant pre-exposed selected genotypes of giant kelp as micro-sporophytes in an experiment with and without provision of an added source of nutrient. The work is designed to assess the feasibility of this approach as a means to develop minimum patch sizes for giant kelp that can be self-replacing and self-expanding, thus providing restoration and future climate-proofing options for this EPBC-listed marine community.<br /> <br /> Planned Outputs<br /> • Experimental data from macrocystis restoration<br /> • Final report
