Over half of all terrestrial systems require fire to maintain ecological integrity. In regions where fire is a frequent disturbance, there is ongoing pressure on the community to evolve and adapt to a specific fire regime. However, with the changes in global climate...
Irregular autumn burns and bushfires unintentionally promote woody-shrub encroachment, intensify fires, and hinder our ability to conduct low-intensity prescribed burning in Victoria. In the context of increasingly flammable climates and decreasing biodiversity, a new...
Fire has been central to the evolution of vegetation in temperate Australia but changing fire regimes are now emerging as a key threat to the persistence of many plant species and vegetation communities. Inappropriate fire regimes characterised by short-interval and...
Fire regimes are changing, altering the frequency, severity and seasonality of wildfire. Of the many processes that contribute to fire regimes, herbivory has been historically overlooked. Globally, large mammalian herbivores exert detectable effects on biomass,...
Wildland–urban interface (WUI) fires have become one of the most significant manifestations of wildfire impacts on society, resulting in substantial losses of life, homes, infrastructure, and community assets worldwide. Against this background, this study aims to...
