  1. Project 7.2 – Invasive species risks and responses in the Wet Tropics: Prioritising weed management in connected landscapes Helen Murphy, CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences Forum Title: Managing for Change

  2. RELEVANCE OF WORK • Land managers in the region have identified the need for: • Regional and landscape-scale tools for prioritising invasive species management activities • A forecasting and pro-active management context to existing pest management strategies • Overall objective: Assess current and future invasive species risks and responses in the Wet Tropics 1. Networks of weed spread and landscape-scale prioritisation 2. Climate change and emerging weed risks 3. Modelling the invasion-management spatial dynamic

  3. METHODS •Example – case study with Turbina (Turbina corymbosa) • Scrambling woody vine, grows along rainforest margins and in riparian vegetation • Still relatively limited in extent in Australia, restricted to the Wet Tropics – emerging weed • Not declared; considered of ‘high’ ecological concern (QPWS)
