Many species are adapted to a particular fire regime and major deviations from that regime may lead to localised extinction. Here, we quantify immaturity risks to an obligate-seeder forest tree using an objectively designed climate model ensemble and a probabilistic...
Currently in Australia the biodiversity crisis and wildfire risks are in direct opposition to one another. Increased wildfire risks under climate change place pressures on sectors and organisations attempting to revegetate the landscape and increases the likelihood...
Fire drives patterns in mammal biodiversity across the globe. However, due to climate change fire regimes are shifting and this impacts species and their populations. It is important we gain a better understanding of how species are affected by fire across these...
The overarching aim of this projects is to understand the effects of bushfires and planned burning on ecosystem resilience, focusing on four key ecosystems in Victoria: Grassy Heathy Dry Forest, Iron Bark / Box, High Altitude Shrubland Woodland and Tall Mixed Forest....
Fire is a key driver of plant diversity globally. Heathlands are fire-prone and species-rich. Many species demonstrate fire adaptations such as post-fire resprouting, fire-stimulated germination, and fire-stimulated seed release. However, changes in fire frequency and...
