Resilient Landscape Planning
We harness ecological genetics to boost diversity and future-proof landscape management in the face of a changing climate
Understanding ecological and genetic diversity is key to creating resilient landscapes.
Our research group specialises in the ecological and evolutionary genetics of plants. We investigate the genetic diversity and structure of vulnerable populations, to help us understand their adaptive potential.
Working with stakeholders across industry, government, NGOs, we help our clients to design landscape management strategies that maximise resilience and adaptability in the face of climate change.
We are a multidisciplinary research group, so we take a holistic view of landscape management. Our team possesses skills and expertise in not just ecological genetics, but also community ecology, plant-microbe and plant-pollinator interactions, and restoration science.
