Full description Australian ecosystems and species face many threatening processes that contribute to biodiversity decline. These include: * altered hydrology such as water extraction * altered fire regimes * extreme floods, droughts and bushfires * diseases * invasive plants and animals. The Australian Government aims to reduce the impacts of these threatening processes. This requires good policies, integrated planning and on-ground management, based on the best available evidence. This project establishes the foundation for the hub’s research on building resilience to threatening processes, and considers landscape-scale interactions among these processes. ### Key research areas * environmental weeds and diseases * invasive animals * bushfire management * wetlands and water management. ### Pathway to impact This project will support better management of threatening processes and extreme events by: * co-designing priority research with key research users * identifying practical solutions for major threats and extreme events * linking research with policy, planning and on-ground action * supporting the development of tools and outputs that support landscape resilience.
