Managing evolutionary-ecological process in restoring Banksia woodland resilient to global environmental changes

该项目将通过在恢复的植物群落中操纵遗传多样性、当地选择和基因流动，建立适当的制度，管理大规模恢复的进化过程，从而提高成功率和对未来变化的适应能力。它将大大推进我们对恢复工作中的进化过程的理解，并导致改善恢复成功，恢复生态系统的长期生态功能，更好的资源投资，以及在快速环境变化的情况下维护澳大利亚的生物多样性。这些研究结果应该与政府，社区和行业在国内和国际上管理的更广泛的恢复计划有关。

By manipulating genetic diversity, local selection and gene flow in restored plant communities, this project will establish suitable regimes to manage evolutionary processes in large-scale restoration, thereby improving success and resilience to future changes. It will significantly advance our understanding of evolutionary processes operating in restoration efforts, and lead to improved restoration success, better long-term ecological functioning in restored ecosystems, better investment of resources, and maintenance of Australia’s biodiversity in the face of rapid environmental change. These findings should be of relevance to broader restoration initiatives managed by the government, community, and industry nationally and internationally.
