ACIAR Improving soil health in support of sustainable development in the Pacific

The proposed project focuses on developing research-based indicators that growers and extensionists can use to assess soil health status (including key chemical, physical and biological variables), as well as extension approaches to communicate soil health.

Modelling drought mortaility in spotted gum.

Increased climate variability and the need to establish production forests at more marginal sites requires an understanding of the mechanisms of drought death in production species so that predictions of growth and survival are robust and defendable.
