Australian wheatbelt farmers' and NRM responses to ecological principles, climate change, agricultural production and biodiversity effects at a landscape scale

Sixteen key ecological principles (KEPs) are identified to provide rapid landscape scale pattern-oriented mitigation of native species loss due to habitat fragmentation and climate change, while maintaining agricultural productivity, in Australian wheatbelt regions. Statistically significant differences in surveyed wheatbelt farmers’ and NRM managers’ priorities for KEP applications are discovered.
