| Abstract: | The aim of this study is to identify the water use strategy of Malaleuca halmaturorum in response to salinity and waterlogging in the root zone and through this quantify groundwater use and the role of M. halmaturorum in the water balance. The water use strategy of M. halmaturorum is investigated in the saline ephemeral swamps of South Eastern South Australia to understand the effect of the wetland vegetation on the groundwater balance and the survival mechanisms and reasons for the decline in health of M. halmaturorum in the region. |
