Ongoing research by the University of Peradeniya places the richly varied living collections of the garden at its focus. The team investigates ecosystem dynamics, methods of conservation, monitoring, and managing biodiversity on the Lunuganga island.
Lunuganga stands as an estuarine island, a unique landscape rarely studied in Sri Lanka's ecology. This study pioneers research on ecosystem dynamics in this distinct setting, focusing on the regeneration of disturbed vegetation found in the island's abundant rubber lands. This investigation delves into ecosystem dynamics, conservation methods, and biodiversity management on the island.
Laying the groundwork for long-term studies at Lunuganga, the research is pivotal to providing crucial data and insights into the island's ecosystem dynamics, shedding light on broader ecological patterns.
