Impacts of myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) on functional diversity and nutrient cycling in a wet sclerophyll forest

This project investigates impacts of myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) tree mortality on ecological functioning of a wet sclerophyll forest. Studies focus on possible changes in functional diversity, nutrient cycling and fuel loads.
