The research focused on improving understanding of low flow requirements of environmental assets and values in a climate change context and developing a conservation prioritisation method to identify priority locations for future management decisions.
This study explored the ability to develop reference curves to describe exemplar age class distributions for key floodplain tree species.
Understanding the characteristics of tree populations, such as their density, age structure, rates of recruitment (germination and establishment of new trees), growth, and mortality (death rates), are important to understanding the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable. This includes understanding the role of these processes on age class distributions. Developing reference curves – tools that help to define the acceptable limits of parameters such as age class distributions – helps us to determine the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable or may require management intervention to promote recruitment or old growth for example.

Acid sulfate soils can pose a serious risk to the health of the plants, animals and communities of the Murray–Darling Basin especially during high risk periods such as droughts under low flows and water levels.
Water, sunlight, and clean air – did you know Goondiwindi has the perfect environment for growing ocean microalgae? This week MDBA Chair Sir Angus Houston visited Goondiwindi's Algae Pharm as part of his listening tour and learnt how the algae farm captures and recycles water.

The Murray–Darling Basin has many different ecosystems and is home to a large variety of native plants, which all contribute to the health of the Basin.
Over recent years there have been significant changes in water use on the River Murray between Barmah and the South Australian border. This study investigates the changes historical data shows over time.
