Body
This research is based in far north-west Queensland at Boodjamulla National Park, a dryland savannah dominated by Eucalyptusand Melaleucawoodlands and floodplains. The interspaces between the perennial tussock grasses are dominated by cyanobacterial soil crusts. The wet season is governed by monsoonal troughs and in the dry season there is often no rain at all. This two-year project has focused on; establishing the diversity of the different crust ecosystems, net carbon uptake annually, and seasonal eco-physiological function. ...
