This fellowship aims to resolve carbon removal and nutrient mitigation potential of Australia’s kelp forests now and in future. It will create new understanding of the ecosystem services provided by the Great Southern Reef, and the capacity of kelp forests to provide nature-based solutions to reduce emissions and improve coastal water quality. Using a combination of global models and ecological experiments on kelp forests and their replacement ecosystem states, the fellowship will predict changes in function with warming. This information is critical to determine net ecosystem mitigation potential and will significantly advance our understanding of the potential of kelp forests to generate co-benefits while conserving biodiversity.

该奖学金旨在解决现在和将来澳大利亚海带森林的碳清除和减少营养的潜力。它将为大南部礁石提供的生态系统服务提供新的了解，以及海带森林提供基于自然解决方案以减少排放和提高沿海水质的能力。通过在海带森林及其替代生态系统状态上进行全球模型和生态实验的结合，研究金将预测随着变暖的功能变化。这些信息对于确定净生态系统缓解潜力至关重要，并将大大提高我们对海带森林产生共同利益的潜力的理解，同时保存生物多样性。
