Future Farm Industries CRC
Scholarship Description
New woody crops have the potential to provide farmers with opportunities to create new integrated farming systems that are more sustainable, climate-adapted and economically viable in southern Australian agricultural landscapes. You will be contributing to a project the aims of which are to understand how to create more resilient, sustainable and productive agricultural landscapes. Specifically you will investigate the soil carbon dynamics of two perennial woody species, mallee and saltbush, and thereby provide a sound scientific basis for development of a predictive and measurement capacity of the productivity of key woody shrub and tree species, including whole plant biomass and soil carbon stores, at a regional and farm scale. This requires field work to underpin scientific rigor of productivity evaluations and predictions.
