News from ACEMS

A new study led by ACEMS and QUT has found ways to detect hidden dangers of repeated stresses on seagrass using statistical modelling.

The research, published by the Journal of Applied Ecology, found cumulative maintenance dredging which affected the light on the sea floor increased risks on seagrass survival.

It found, globally, seagrass meadows can be at risk of collapse from accumulated effects of repeated dredging and natural stress.

Timing of dredging is the key to helping preserve one of the world’s most productive and important ecosystems - seagrass meadows.

Three ACEMS Researchers from The University of Adelaide were part of a team that won the 2017 Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research.

Adam “Ben” Rohrlach, Prof Nigel Bean, and Dr Simon “Jonathan” Tuke provided the statistical research used in this landmark study, which uses genetics to help link Australian Aboriginals to the land that they have always claimed through their stories.
