Expertise

Dave researchers the reciprocal effects of people on nature. He is interested in researching and teaching human-plant (and wildlife) relationships in cities and beyond, particularly the drivers and effects of environmental management.

Research Themes

Dave’s research aligns to the University’s research theme of Environment, Resources and Sustainability.Dave’s research draws on geography, psychology and ecology to better understand the vegetation we live with. In particular, why we manage ecosystems the way we do, what the effects of this management are, and what the general public thinks about nature and the way we manage it. He collaborates extensively with other researchers, government and industry to answer questions that can help improve the landscapes and ecosystems we live with.

Evaluating impacts of ecological restoration on human health and wellbeing. (2021)$1,500
Description
Over the past 20 years local people in the NE region have been accessing nature through ecological restoration projects under the stewardship of NE Bioregional Network. The benefits of this work on the ecology have been evaluated and well-documented. The impacts on human health and wellbeing, however, have not evaluated or documented despite being anecdotally observed. This project will evaluate the subjective health and wellbeing impacts of eco-restoration work for those who have participated, and investigate potential and perceived community-wide impacts.The aims of this demonstration project are to: a) evaluate the health impacts from participation in eco-restoration projects, and b) ascertain the capacity for work to address community-wide determinants of healthThis qualitative, appreciative enquiry project will conduct in-depth semi-structured interviews with past and present participants involved in ecological restoration work (num=10), and with relevant key stakeholders from the community and health sectors (num=6).

Newcastle's Urban Forest - species for future climates and human health (2020)$6,000
Description
This project aims to identify a range of tree (and other landscape plant) species that are currently used in Newcastle's landscapes (and species native to the area) under a variety of different climate scenarios. In particular, the City of Newcastle has requested (with our comments below each point):1.Review of current tree and plant species matrix to determine suitability for moderate and extreme climate change scenariosa.This includes 115 species in the 'Street Tree Master Plan Matrix' spreadsheet and approx. 80 species in the 'DRAFT_Public Garden - PLANT SPECIES LIST'2.Provide a report of tree and plant species that are predicted to have tolerances to Newcastle's projected climate in moderate and extreme scenariosa.A preliminary inspection of our database of cultivated species from 250 cities around the world suggests that we have data on about 500 species that are potentially well suited to different climate change scenarios for Newcastle.3.Provide this in a format that is easy to filter and manipulate e.g. excel spreadsheeta.Yes, no problems4.Review of the microclimates and environmental pressures that exist throughout the Newcastle LGAa.I have reviewed the supplied documents which identifies three climate zones in the Hunter region, including two that occur in the City of Newcastle LGA area (coastal and central) with specific climate change predictions. If additional microclimate analysis is required we will need to specify the scope of this carefully. I can provide a general review of the effects of microclimate on climate variables that could be used in species selection decisions. 5.Identify plant and tree species that are predicted to tolerate these microclimates and environmental pressuresa.I can use predictions in the analysis (i.e. identify risks for species by zone). Other microclimate analysis would need to be specified and scoped.6.Identify rare and threatened tree and plant species may be suited to microclimates of the Newcastle LGAa.I will include a risk assessment of local threatened species, as well as other EPBC listed, state and territory listed, and IUCN listed species that could be suited to Newcastle's climate futures.7.Other work you consider may be of use to the City of Newcastle, relating to climate change adaptationa.I will also include an assessment of flora indigenous to the region - approx. 2000 species.b.I could also generate risk maps if you have e.g. spatially explicit street/park tree databases.

Wildlife and microbiomes in the city: Urbanites, big and small (2020 - 2021)$13,125
Description
The primary aim of the project in the year I'm asking for funding is to quantify the impact of wild vertebrates on the composition and diversity of soil microbes in urban green spaces. To answer this question, I will combine fieldwork with laboratory and statistical analysis. The fieldwork portion will include setting up fenced and unfenced plots of sterile and unsterile soils in green spaces of different cities and collecting samples over a 1 year time series. Vertebrate communities will be quantified, soil microbial DNA will be extracted in the lab, and the16S rRNA gene will be amplified and sequenced. The study will use statistical models to calculate and compare microbe composition and diversity. Within the year that this project is funded, I expect to complete the fieldwork and some of the lab work. The outcomes of my PhD will provide a better understanding of the connection between vertebrate community composition and environmental microbial biodiversity and help informing urban restoration and conservation efforts.

Microbiomes in Tasmania: questions, collaboration and connection with industry (2018)$7,500
Description
Microbial communities are central to human health and ecosystem functioning and thus are of critical importance for us to understand. Microbiomes are being examined in different disciplines across the University (as they pertain to marine environments, forests, agriculture, human health and food safety) and at various government and private industries. However, there is very little cross-talk amongst research groups. This rapidly emerging field is ripe for exploration in Tasmania if skills can be transferred and institutional siloing can be overcome so researchers in different institutions (e.g. School of Natural Sciences, Menzies, College of Health and Medicine, CSIRO) can become aware of each other's work. Fostering this collaboration could lead to more rapid advances and efficient research. With this grant, we will host a workshop with two days of presentations on health (day 1) and ecology (day 2) microbiome research, with a third day to discuss applications, industry interest, collaborations, and outline a working paper for publication.

Resolving human-flying fox conflict in the face of environmental change (2016 - 2018)$397,805
Description
: Flying-foxes are nationally protected mammals that are pivotal to Australia's forest ecosystems, yet they continue to be threatened by habitat loss and extreme weather, and legal culls at orchards. Their exceptional mobility putsthem in frequent conflict with human settlements, leading to forced dispersals from roosts. This project will drawtogether ecological and social analysis in a decision-theoretic framework to i) identify socially-acceptable priorityareas to be managed for the long-term viability of flying-foxes under a changing climate, and ii) develop strategiesto mitigate human-flying fox conflict. It will deliver a template for the development and use of participatory socioecologicalmodels for conservation decision-making.
