Landscape conservation research

Monitoring the effects of fire
Monitoring the effects of Nuyts wildfire

Western Australia is internationally renowned for the diversity of its plants, animals and ecosystems, and the southwest of the State is recognised as one of the world's 32 biodiversity hotspots.

Our research focuses on the complex processes that contribute to the overall health of Western Australian landscapes. We seek to understand how different factors and interactions function in a landscape (eg soil conditions, nutrient levels, landscape use, species distribution, fire and climate variation), how they change and how this impacts on biodiversity.

What we do

  • Monitor the condition of Western Australia's ecosystems and communities
  • Research and predict the ecological effects of processes that operate at a landscape level (eg fire, grazing, climate change)
  • Research methods to restore degraded landscape affected by salinity and erosion
  • Monitor the impact of timber harvesting and management practices on the soil, water and biodiversity of WA's forests
  • Research and develop systems for using fire to maintain and enhance biodiversity at a landscape scale
