Dr John Morgan's picture

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.

Native grasslands are all about mono-dominance by one grass species called Kangaroo Grass, and the inter-tussock diversity, which is all the other plants, that survive in the spaces.
