Novel experimental and longitudinal analyses to promote woodland biota

促进林地生物群的新实验和纵向分析。该项目旨在缩小围绕最有效的农场植被恢复和管理方法的重要科学和实际应用差距。尽管增加原生植被覆盖的恢复计划对于整合农业生产和生物多样性保护至关重要，但关键的科学问题仍然是生物群如何响应植被覆盖的时间增加。该项目将结合对长期数据集的新颖时空分析，以及对连接林地斑块的种植策略与增加单个斑块大小的增加策略的阻塞和重复实验进行比较。预期的结果是更好地设计和实施恢复，使生物群的利益最大化。

Novel experimental and longitudinal analyses to promote woodland biota. This project aims to close important scientific and practical application gaps around the most effective ways to restore and manage vegetation on farms. Although restoration programs to increase native vegetation cover are essential for integrating agricultural production with biodiversity conservation, critical scientific questions remain about how biota responds to temporal increases in vegetation cover. This project will combine novel spatiotemporal analyses of long-term datasets and a blocked and replicated experiment comparing planting strategies that connect woodland patches vs augmentation strategies that increase individual patch size. Anticipated outcomes are better designed and implemented restorations to maximise benefits for biota.
