Project Name: Forest ecosystem water use: Does species diversity matter?

Project Description:

Based in the Forests and Climate Change Group, Department of Biological Sciences and Climate Risk CORE, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.

A PhD student is sought to contribute to an Australian Research Council Linkages (LP0992238) project investigating how biodiversity of forest ecosystems affects their water use and susceptibility to drought. The project involves establishment and monitoring of experimental forest regeneration plantings with different diversity levels, to be established in western Sydney. The role of this PhD student is to develop mathematical models linking plant species traits to forest stand water use and productivity, providing a theoretical basis for experimental work.
