Welcome to the David Lindenmayer field ecology team blog. This site aims to highlight the field based research of the long term ecological monitoring projects currently undertaken across South Eastern Australia. Since 1983 the research team has maintained several major long-term ecological monitoring studies under the direction of Professor David Lindenmayer. These studies monitor biodiversity changes over time at the landscape scale in response to a number of factors including; vegetation restoration, new
In 2018, the Sustainable Farms project was created. While it draws upon the 20 years of ecological research undertaken on farms by the Long Term Ecology research team led by Professor David Lindenmayer , Sustainable Farms is also an outreach and extension initiative, with a strong cross-disciplinary research element .
Sustainable Farms is an Australian National University initiative supported by funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program, as well as by philanthropic organisations and industry groups. The project works closely with Landcare groups and NRM agencies in NSW and Victoria. It is led by Ms Michelle Young , and in addition to the expert team of ecologists, also comprises researchers in mental health and economics, and communications and engagement staff.
