Professor David Lindenmayer is an international authority on conservation and landscape ecology. He has discovered novel ways in which key drivers of landscape change interact to affect biodiversity, ecological processes and ecosystem condition. Through a pioneering series of large-scale, long-term studies in forests, plantations and agricultural environments, he has uniquely demonstrated how pre-existing landscape conditions combine with new kinds of landscape transformation to shape temporal and spatial patterns of species decline and recovery at multiple scales (from individual trees to sites, landscapes and regions). Professor Lindenmayer has also discovered mechanisms through which species respond to multiple natural and human disturbances. With his unique perspectives across an array of ecosystems, he established innovative strategies for the management of biota and ecosystems in Australia and globally. He has also developed new conceptual models and approaches for designing experiments and other kinds of studies to quantify the effects of multiple, interacting factors on biodiversity.

About us:
The Australian Academy of Science is an independent organisation representing Australia’s leading scientists. It recognises excellence, advises government and promotes science education and public awareness of science.
About our channel:
We create and upload videos reviewed by experts in scientific fields and other leading academics to ensure scientific accuracy. You can also find some amazing lectures given by top scientists at one of our events held at our HQ-the Shine Dome in Canberra or across Australia.
