Biology and Integrated conservation of temperate Australian orchids

为了成功地保护稀有和濒危的兰花，必须采取综合的转移办法。兰花种类和相关的真菌共生体必须成功地建立在一个地点，以实现自给自足的种群。目前对兰花与真菌内生真菌的原位相互作用知之甚少。这里的研究将确定双方的基本现场互动和要求。对稀有和濒危物种的迁地保护应包括可靠的长期储存繁殖材料，如种子。获得的信息将用于制定兰花保护一揽子计划，供土地管理人实施。

To successfully conserve rare and endangered orchids an integrated approach to translocation must be adopted. The orchid species and associated fungal symbionts must be succesfully established at a site to achieve a self-sustaining population. Currently little is know about the in situ interactions of orchid and fungal endophytes. Research here will determine essential field interactions and requirements of both partners. The ex situ conservation of rare and endangered species should included reliable long-term storage of propagation material such as seed. Information obtained will be used to develop orchid conservation packages for implementation by landmanagers.
