... does not disappear as a result of rehabilitation work, no matter how good it is. Brad Law takes another tack, noting long-term research on Australian bats as being glaring in its absence. He points out that long-term data are vital for understanding climate change impacts and other environmental...

..., and predictions of the possible impacts of large-scale phenomena (such as global climate change) will be assisted by basic research into documenting biodiversity, community dynamics, autecology, and eco-physiology of beach fauna and the linkages with adjacent ecosystems. As well, the use of human interventions...

...-existent for bats. Such data are vital for understanding climate change impacts and other environmental changes resulting from management practices, such as timber harvesting or fire, because of the complex and dynamic ecological processes that pervade long-lived systems like forests (Law et al. 2016...

... in the environment following mine site restoration; and the possible impact of climate change. Some advice, based on the authors' experience, is provided for researchers who are contemplating initiating long-term studies. Formicidae fire rehabilitation climate change industry partnerships sampling protocols...

...Michael Murphy The New South Wales South Western Slopes bioregion has been significantly altered by agricultural development and is likely to experience additional significant impacts as a result of anthropogenic climate change. A simple inventory survey of the vertebrate fauna of Currawananna...

... events that regularly cost the oyster aquaculture industry millions of dollars and affect livelihoods. Notably, there is evidence that climate change is rapidly causing the emergence of new diseases alongside the amplification of impacts of existing diseases. This is because warming, acidification...

... reefs thrive despite unfavourable conditions. These habitats provide a natural long-term setting to examine the impact of multiple interacting climate change factors on corals and understand the adaptations required by corals to inhabit these conditions. We review studies of coral skeletogenesis...

... impacts of protracted exploitation and on going warming, drying trends under climate change in the region (Wardell Johnson et al. 2011). The inherently low productivity of ancient landscapes (Mucina and Wardell Johnson 2011; Sander and Wardell Johnson 2011) may offer the best long term hopes...
