Aliens in the alps: predicting invasions and protecting native species

该项目旨在调查气候变暖和外来物种入侵对澳大利亚高山生态系统的影响。该项目结合了自然科学和物理科学的方法，努力产生关于高山生物多样性的新知识，以及本地和外来物种应对气候变暖和降雪量减少压力的能力。该项目的预期结果包括提高预测环境变化影响的准确性和精度，为澳大利亚阿尔卑斯山的保护规划和保护提供好处。

This project aims to investigate how warming and alien species invasions impact on Australia’s alpine ecosystems. Using a combination of methods from across the natural and physical sciences, this project endeavours to generate new knowledge on alpine biodiversity and the ability of native and alien species to cope with the pressures of climate warming and decreasing snow fall. Expected outcomes of this project include improved accuracy and precision in predicting the impacts of environmental change providing benefits to conservation planning and protection of the Australian Alps.
