Ecology
Linking soil biology, plant community composition and hydrology to understand drivers of soil carbon storage in highland grasslands.
University of Tasmania
About the Project Highland grasslands are a dominant and crucially important component of Australia’s alpine and sub-alpine ecosystems. These communities support unique biodiversity and have enormous aesthetic and emotional appeal. What is perhaps less obvious, however, is that these communities also support soils that are extremely dense stores of carbon, due to their peaty nature caused by the accumulation of undecomposed plant material.
