Utilising plant-sediment-feedbacks to enhance seagrass restoration

该项目旨在调查沉积物微生物在促进澳大利亚各地受威胁海草物种健康方面的作用。该项目旨在通过整合宏观和微观生态学、环境基因组学、植物生态学和生态系统功能（例如营养和地球化学循环），为提高海草恢复成功率创造新的知识。预期成果是利用沉积物微生物加强海草恢复的新知识，可将其纳入管理和政策。这一项目应能带来重大惠益，如建立关键战略联盟，以加强海草管理、生态系统服务及其提供的经济和社会惠益。

This project aims to investigate the role of sediment microbes in promoting the health of threatened seagrass species across Australia. This project expects to create new knowledge for enhancing restoration success for seagrasses by integrating macro and micro-ecology, environmental genomics, plant ecology and ecosystem function (e.g. nutrient and biogeochemistry cycling). Expected outcomes are new knowledge to enhance seagrass restoration utilising sediment microbes that can be integrated into management and policy. This project should provide significant benefits, such as the development of key strategic alliances to enhance management of seagrasses, and the ecosystem services, and economic and social benefits they provide.
