South-western Australia hosts some of the most biologically diverse plant communities on Earth, and these occur on the most ancient, nutrient-impoverished soils. By studying coastal dunes of increasing age, this project will determine how megadiverse plant communities originate during long-term ecosystem development, and how they are maintained.

澳大利亚西南部拥有一些地球上生物多样性最丰富的植物群落，而这些植物群落生长在最古老、营养最贫乏的土壤上。通过研究年龄不断增长的沿海沙丘，该项目将确定在长期生态系统发展过程中，超级多样性植物群落是如何产生的，以及它们是如何维持的。
