Question Which grassland species are you particularly interested in? Why?
Expert Dr John Morgan
Dr John Morgan is a research scientist in the Department of Botany at La Trobe University, Bundoora. John has worked for many years in the grassy ecosystems of southern Australia, concentrating on understanding the long-term changes that occur in species composition in the context of land-use change, ecological management and plant invasions, relating his findings to conservation and biodiversity.
All plant species, but particularly the dominant grass, the geophytes, (which are the lilies and the orchids) because they are very vulnerable to disturbance, and the daisies – because they characterize Australian grasslands.
