The aim of this project is to predict how key ecosystem service providers may change under resource limitation and thermal stress. The project seeks to assess how common species respond to climatic fluctuations and resource limitations when competing for resources in familiar and novel environments along six biogeographic transects throughout Australia. In combination with hypothesis-driven field, laboratory and transplant experiments, citizen science will be used to create a longitudinal data set of the constraints put on dominant and functionally important species. The project also seeks to enable more robust forecasting of biological responses to environmental change by integrating both empirical and theoretical capabilities.

该项目的目的是预测关键生态系统服务提供者在资源限制和热压力下可能发生的变化。该项目旨在评估常见物种在澳大利亚六个生物地理横断面的熟悉和新环境中争夺资源时如何应对气候波动和资源限制。与假设驱动的实地、实验室和移植实验相结合，公民科学将用于创建对优势物种和功能重要物种施加的限制的纵向数据集。该项目还寻求通过整合经验和理论能力，对生物对环境变化的反应进行更稳健的预测。
