A study of the effect of floods on the distribution and movement of plant litter, and the macroinvertebrates associated with it, within the river and across the floodplains of the upper Macquarie River.
The aim is to identify flow regimes which maintain maximum diversity of macroinvertebrates.

The aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of current and proposed forest practices in protecting the ecosystem functioning and habitat structure of small, headwater streams in tall, wet forests subject to harvesting and regeneration to tall, wet native forest. Read More....

To investigate the composition and dynamics of invertebrate communities in headwater streams. These small, often ephemeral streams are poorly studied, despite their large contribution to the overall drainage area of stream catchments. This project will examine the movement and composition of both macroinvertebrate and meiofauna components within these small heterogeneous streams. Read More....

The objective of Project 4 (Tasmanian Retrospective Study) of Landscape Logic is to establish water quality responses to changes in land use and land management, and to examine how water quality in turn affects riverine and estuarine health and function.
