Biomass bioenergy is likely to be an important part of the overall mix of renewable energy sources needed to meet overall and peak demand in future. David, from CSIRO, will talk about testing of native species has revealed some promising candidates for these purposes, including some threatened species.

Professor Adrienne Nicotra ‘Living on the Edge: understanding the thermal ecology of plants from threatened ecological communities’ Thursday, 31 August 2023 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm

Adrienne, from ANU, will talk about the latest advances in examining how plants from extreme environments (desert and alpine) respond to and tolerate extreme heat and cold. This research seeks to identify ways to predict responses of plants from threatened ecological communities to a warmer and increasingly variable climate.  Bookings can be made from the Friday before the talk until Wednesday night or until seating limits are reached.
