Mark Hovenden
Professor
Room 372g , Life Sciences Building
Associate Professor Hovenden is a plant ecologist with a particular interest in linking plant function with the function of the ecosystem. Both his teaching and research activities are directed towards understanding the way that plants actually work and how they interact with each other and the environment to control ecosystem functioning. Unless we understand how ecosystems actually function, we cannot hope to manage them in a rapidly changing world, so a primary motivation for Mark's career has been to improve the way we manage the planet, starting locally and aiming globally. An extremely important component of his career is the use of manipulative field experiments and broad range of approaches, studying the responses of individual plants right up to studying how the whole ecosystem responds. Linking these measurements in the field, with a range of manipulations in relatively long-term experiments, provides a comprehensive and mechanistic assessment of ecosystem function.
Biography
Mark began his interest in botany as a child on caravanning holidays with his family in the bush across eastern Australia. He studied botany at the University of Sydney, studying fire ecology and later spending two years as a research assistant working on mangroves. He then moved to Tasmania in 1991 to work at the Australian Antarctic Division as a research scientist investigating terrestrial ecology of lichens of the Windmill Islands, near Casey Station, for which work he received his PhD from the University of Tasmania in 1996. Prof Hovenden then spent a year working on low temperature effects on eucalypts at the Terrestrial Hardwood Forestry CRC in Hobart before returning to the School of Plant Science as an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow working on the impacts of climate on leaf form and growth of the southern beech, Nothofagus cunninghamii. He commenced his work as a lecturer in the School of Plant Science in 1998, teaching Plant Structure and Function and Plant Ecology.

Teaching expertise
Mark teaches about how plants actually work, how they interact with each other and with other organisms and how these interactions shape ecosystems and control how ecosystems work and change over time. In one of the second year units, the focus is on how plants work and how the external environment influences plant function. In third year, we concentrate on ways to study plants in the field, how they interact with the environment and how ecosystems function and respond to external influences.

Expertise
A/Prof Hovenden leads the Plant Ecology research group at UTAS. His main interest is in improving understanding of ecological processes. In particular, he is interested in how an understanding of plants, their interactions and responses to the environment can be used to improve our ability to predict the way that ecosystems actually function. His major projects focus on the functional response of various species to global climate change and how physiological responses lead to population, community and ecosystem changes.
He is currently establishing a new Free Air CO2 Enrichment Facility at Cambridge, Tasmania, following the success of the decade-long TasFACE experiment. TasFACE was a state of the art facility for investigating the impact of global climate change on an intact native grassland at Pontville, just north of Hobart. The experiment investigated the way that increasing temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations affected the growth and nature of an ecosystem important from both an agricultural and conservation point of view.
Research Themes
Mark's research is directly aligned with the University's research theme of Environment, Resources and Sustainability. Specifically, Mark's research concentrates on how plants function, the interactions among plants and between plants and the environment in order to determine how ecological processes give rise to the function of the ecosystem. Thus, Mark's research interests are directly aimed at question two of this research theme, 'How are local and global influences affecting biological diversity, ecosystem services and human society?' Mark's research is typically based in the field but he supports field research with both glasshouse and laboratory-based studies. Mark's main interest lies in understanding how environmental changes affect the way that plants function in the ecosystem and how things like the community composition influence the impacts of the changing climate on terrestrial ecosystems. To this end, Mark has established a diverse set of field experiments and collaborated with scientists from across the world. Mark's main research projects for the past 15 years have been directed at understanding how the rising temperature and concentration of carbon dioxide interact to influence how terrestrial ecosystems function.
Collaboration
For the past decade Mark has collaborated most closely with researchers from AgResearch, New Zealand. This collaboration concentrates on how plant communities and ecosystems respond to the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This collaboration has led to several research grants and the publication of many papers in the leading journals in the area. Importantly, this research has also influenced government policy and land management.
Mark is currently also involved in three international networks that are examining how plants and ecosystems respond to the changing climate. These networks involve researchers from across the world including Europe, Asia and both South and North America. Importantly, the Warming-Species Removal experiments are part of a network of 10 identical experiments located across the world, providing a truly global assessment of how climate change is affecting ecosystem function.
Current projects
Watering-Ryegrass FACE – This is our brand new elevated CO2 experiment, at the University Farm at Cambridge in which we control the seasonal availability of water at the same time as elevating the CO2 concentration in a ryegrass pasture to determine the conditions that produce peak ecosystem response to high CO2 concentrations.
Warming-Species Removal experiments – In these two experiments we warm plots of native grassland in while also removing the dominant plant species so that we can investigate the how global warming will influence the effects on ecosystem function of extinction of the dominant plant species.
Forest density experiments –With colleagues from Forestry Tasmania we have a set of four experiments in which eucalypt trees were sown at a range of densities. This research aims to understand impacts of tree density on the growth, productivity, carbon sequestration and biodiversity of the forest.
The Australian Forest Evenness Experiment (AFEX) – In the Styx Valley we hand-sowed a mixture of four forest trees in different mixtures. This is a long-term experiment that we will follow for 20 years, recording plant density, biomass, nutrient cycling and biodiversity in order to determine how community evenness affects important ecosystem processes.

Grants & Funding
Mark's research projects have been funded continuously by the Australian Research Council since 1996. Most of his research funding has come from the Discovery Projects scheme, but he has also received funding from Government agencies. Most of his research funding has been directed at understanding how the rising concentration of carbon dioxide and warming interact to affect the way that ecosystems function. Each new project has built on the success of previous projects, substantially increasing our overall understanding of ecosystem function and its response to global change. His current ARC Discovery project builds on the success of my previous three Discovery Projects to establish a new experiment, specifically testing the predictions that arose from those three projects.

Projects
- Description
- This project aims to quantify the current and predict the future carbon balance of a high altitude, carbon-dense ecosystem, namely sub-alpine grassy peatland, by measuring how environmental variables including experimental warming control the fluxes of carbon and water into and out of the system. In this way, this project will produce new knowledge on the susceptibility of high-altitude peaty soils to climate change. Expected outcomes include an enhanced ability to predict future carbon accumulation rates and the resilience of the vital water-storage and filtration services provided by these systems. This project will enhance outputs from new infrastructure and assist planning for future flood and drought management across SE Australia.

- Description
- This project will investigate the key environmental drivers of the carbon balance of a high-altitude grassy peatland and determine experimentally how warming affects carbon fluxes in this ecosystem. Specifically, with AINSE support, I aim to determine 1.) how warming affects the turnover time of carbon in the soil, and 2.) whether it affects the age of carbon being decomposed. These results will reveal how warming affects the time it takes for carbon inputs to cycle back into the atmosphere, as well as whether respired carbon is derived from the large, older soil C store, or relatively new C inputs.

- Description
- Background: The CN30 Pathways Consortium is a coordinated, multi-party, multidisciplinary national collaborative effort designed to explore biophysical, economic, environmental and social pathways to a carbon neutral red meat sector by 2030. CN30 Pathways foci include carbon storage and sequestration, integrated management systems and leadership building to support growth in capacity and competency among individuals and organisations.Products: Through application of self-contained, nationally-distributed scalable Modules for research, development, extension, adoption and commercialisation (RDEA&C), the Consortium will develop Products including knowledge and practices required for (1) enhancing soil C and woody biomass sequestration through improved grazing management, (2) improving the accuracy and reducing the cost of measuring soil C on grazing lands, (3) restoring environmental stewardship through activities such as planting of trees, shelter belts and perennial legumes, (4) quantifying and enhancing on-farm natural capital and biodiversity, enabling co-benefits for livestock productivity, (5) establishing trade-offs between GHG emissions, carbon sequestration, profitability, liveweight and timber productivity in silvopastoral systems (SPS), and (6) determining the impacts of future climates including extreme events on pasture production, soil C and GHG emissions. One of the seven consortium Modules will be led by UTAS.Extension and adoption: Extension will be conducted across at least ten agro-ecological regions representing the majority of the national herd and flock through facilitated workshops, face-to-face training and industry publications to ensure international peer-review, scientific credibility, industry confidence in project outcomes and public recognition of CN30 research conducted by the Consortium. A series of adoption packages with practical steps to simplify user uptake will be developed and conducted to ensure research products achieve impact. Uptake of Consortium Products will be measured through a dedicated self-contained monitoring and evaluation program.Leadership and governance: The Consortium governance structure includes a Steering Committee (SC) for guidance and oversight, and a Consortium Leadership Group (CLG) responsible for implementation of component Modules, sharing project information across activities and for review of project progress, milestones and outcomes. Outcomes and impact: Key outcomes include improvement and implementation of management approaches and technologies for increasing soil C, woody biomass and biodiversity on farm across Australia, enhanced sustainability and animal welfare through environmental stewardship, greater understanding of the co-benefits of trees and shelter-belts on farm, advanced, low-cost scientific measurement and modelling approaches for GHG emissions mitigation through soil or woody C quantification, emissions mitigation or whole of farm system effects, predictions of pasture production and net farm emissions under future climates and a series of practical packages facilitating adoption by the industry. Collectively, these outcomes will maintain or increase profitability and sustainability while moving the industry towards net zero GHG emissions.

- Description
- In Australia and globally, high-altitude ecosystems are vulnerable to the direct effects of climate change owing to dispersal limitations, and native and exotic species invasions. The subalpine grasslands of Tasmania are of particularly high conservation value as they are important areas for carbon storage and are host remarkable levels of floristic diversity. To protect this diversity and the ecosystem services that it sustains, my research will investigate plant interactions networks in a Tasmanian subalpine grassland to ascertain the community response to experimentally induced extreme future climate scenarios.

- Description
- This project aims to assess how past conditions influence grassland responses to the rising atmosphericconcentration of carbon dioxide. High CO2 concentrations should stimulate productivity but in grasslands this israrely realised because other, mostly unknown, factors constrain the response. By synthesising data from pastexperiments, using a targeted field experiment and sophisticated Bayesian statistical modelling, this project aimsto determine exactly why grasslands fail to realise the full productivity benefits of increased CO2 and when thiswill happen. This should have long-lasting scientific impact by improving predictions of carbon exchange andindicating the best direction for climate change adaptation measures.

- Description
- The rising atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide provides an opportunity to increase ecosystem productivity, especially in agricultural systems, but to what extent is highly uncertain, particularly when combined with changing temperature and precipitation. Recent research has demonstrated that seasonal water supply is the strongest controller of the productivity response to high carbon dioxide concentrations of grasslands. This project will elucidate the processes governing this response and develop simple models that will allow the conditions required to maximise the productivity benefit from rising carbon dioxide concentration to be calculated.

- Description
- Restoring the ecological function of degraded rural landscapes is a national priority, yet achieving this goal remains a major challenge. Combining approaches from different ecological disciplines the project will: (a) identify priority areas for tree plantings; (b) determine which tree species can establish in degraded landscapes, and have the capacity to grow in the predicted hotter and drier climates in the late 21st century; (c) evaluate whether local species or races are necessarily better than non-local types; and (d) understand the trade-off between tree growth, carbon storage and water use. This research will provide an urgently needed scientific framework for proposed large-scale restoration of degraded Tasmanian rural landscapes.

- Description
- The availability of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, in the soil is tightly linked with the productivity of ecosystems through biogeochemical processes. Global changes are affecting biogeochemical cycles and experiments show that increasing atmospheric CO2 reduces available soil N. It has recently been shown that the addition of warming to elevated CO2 prevents this from occurring. This project will elucidate the processes involved in this response by examining how elevated CO2 and warming affect nutrient cycling directly, and via changes in, botanical and soil community composition. The project will determine how two important global change drivers affect the sustainability of one ecosystem and identify the processes that affect others.
