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.
