Vanessa Adams 'The dynamics of plant species retention in the landscape'

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture is proud to bring you the next seminar in our Talking Plant Science series. 'The good, the bad and the ugly: the dynamics of plant species retention in the landscape' Vanessa Adams University of Tasmania Successful conservation of plants depends upon an understanding of the biogeography of species; how actions can counteract threats to species loss and maintain natural assemblages of species; and the social values placed on these systems and how this influences communities and individuals to support these actions (or not). Thus, conservation and environmental management sit at the cross-section of physical and human geography and effective action will leverage knowledge from both. This talk will present what we know about the good, bad and ugly of plant retention in the landscape, historic drivers causing the ugly, and future looking solutions that can leverage the good. Lastly – it will pose the question of how can we prioritize actions (e.g. in stu or ex situ conservation, restoration or protection) to maximise species retention taking into account land use changes, climate change, and complex interactions between these?
