Our associate PhD student, Claire Wainwright, is out in the York Gum woodland of Western Australia again. On this 6-month field trip, Claire is going to collect empirical data to investigate the processes that drive coexistence of native and exotic annuals in the woodland understorey. Since 2012 was drier than 2013, it would be interesting to compare the temporal difference between two years’ data.
This will be her final field trip in her PhD voyage. All the best Claire!
