Using eDNA to Track Down Weed Species

22 September

Add to favourites

Weeds are invading Australia, harming our environment, farms, and economy. Every year, new species arrive and spread. To fight back, we’re developing cutting-edge science: by collecting tiny traces of plant DNA from the air, we can detect invasive weeds early and track their movements. This helps us protect native ecosystems before it’s too late.
