Fingerprints of global climate change and forest management on rhizosphere carbon and nutrient cycling

利用一系列创新技术，该项目旨在抓住极好的、令人兴奋的机会，研究全球气候变化（GCC）和森林管理对根际碳和养分循环中植物-土壤-微生物相互作用的影响，在瑞典和美国进行了两项世界上最好的GCC森林实验，在澳大利亚进行了三项长期森林管理实验。成功地进行这一多学科合作研究将导致：根据海湾合作委员会的要求，更好地了解和管理森林生态系统，并在管理的森林中有效地养护生物多样性;提高澳大利亚科学家在有关研究领域的国际声誉和专门知识。

Using a series of innovative techniques, this project seeks to capture the excellent, exciting opportunities for studying impacts of global climate change (GCC) and forest management on plant-soil-microbe interactions in rhizosphere carbon and nutrient cycling, with two of the world's best GCC forest experiments in Sweden and USA and three long-term forest management experiments in Australia. The successful conduct of this multidisciplinary collaborative research will result in: improved understanding and management of forest ecosystems in response to GCC and effective biodiversity conservation in managed forests; and enhanced international reputation and expertise of the Australian scientists in the relevant research fields.
