Managing ecosystem change requires the integration of above and belowground hydrological processes at relevant scales.

前所未有的关键班克西亚物种死亡率水平和提供重要生态系统服务能力下降的物种数量增加，导致生态系统变化和西澳大利亚林地恢复力下降。在对水敏感的生态系统中，未能捕获和整合各种尺度（个体到景观）的地上（树木功能和生态）和地下（土壤水文学和物理学）过程，导致全球树木减少问题仍未得到解决。利用这一方法，该项目旨在确定导致重大生态系统变化的过程，并确定高风险地区。预计成果将包括建立一个了解全球生态系统变化的基准方法，以便为气候变化中的土地管理提供信息。

Unprecedented levels of keystone Banksia species mortality and an increased number of species with reduced capacity to provide vital ecosystem services is leading to ecosystem change and reduced resilience of Western Australian woodlands. In water sensitive ecosystems, failure to capture and integrate above- (tree function and ecology) and below-ground (soil hydrology and physics) processes at various scales (individual to landscape) has seen global tree decline remain unresolved. Using this approach, the project aims to identify processes leading to, and identify areas at high risk of, significant ecosystem change. Outcomes are expected to include the establishment a benchmark approach in understanding global ecosystem change to inform land management in a changing climate.
