Terrestrial biodiversity research aims to understand and minimise CSG development impacts on the function of regional ecosystems. The first round of projects will document potential threats to biodiversity and cost-effective responses across the development region.
This study investigates how roads, pipelines and other linear transport infrastructure may impact biodiversity in the Beetaloo Sub-basin during the development of an onshore gas industry.

This research will improve the understanding of how ecological and biological traits of rare species of plants, commonly encountered in restoration projects, and different environmental factors determine viable population sizes by using computer models. Producing evidence-based guidelines for the size of plant populations needed to maximise establishment and persistence of rare plant species.

This research identified genetic and demographic factors that may limit the success of establishing a rare daisy (Rutidosis lantana) in a new location. The report outlines best practice guidelines for moving the Rutidosis lantana, a rare daisy, to a new location. The guidelines will help to minimise biological limits to reproductive success and maximise population viability […]

This project studies two species, the Golden-tailed gecko and Glossy black-cockatoo, to assess the range of impacts from CSG development in south-west Queensland on their habitat. The project provided management options for the Golden-tailed gecko and Glossy black-cockatoo habitats to ensure their long-term endurance.

This study determined the sensitivity of the region’s flora and fauna to changed fire regimes, and the thresholds at which changed fire regimes cause substantial ecological impact. The research provided advice on how to best manage the biodiversity impacts of altered fire regimes associated with CSG development.
