Integrating multiple conservation values for protection and restoration of native vegetation

该项目将加强澳大利亚以环境可持续方式提高其竞争优势的能力。我们将制定更好的方法，将与生物多样性、土壤保持、水质、盐度减缓和碳固存有关的养护目标结合起来，以确定可以获得多种效益和更有效地使用资金的领域。我们的成果和技术将立即用于国家，州和地方政府，集水当局和社区团体。该项目将使澳大利亚科学家保持在环境管理的国际前沿，并为青年科学家提供高质量的培训。

The project will underpin Australia's ability to enhance its competitive advantages in an environmentally sustainable fashion. We will develop better methods for integrating conservation goals related to biodiversity, soil conservation, water quality, salinity mitigation and carbon sequestration to identify areas where multiple benefits can be obtained and funding can be spent more effectively. Our results and techniques will be of immediate use to national, state and local governments, catchment authorities, and community groups. The project will maintain Australian scientists at the international forefront of environmental management and provide high-quality training for young scientists.
