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...
Planned or prescribed burning is widespread in forests and grasslands across Australia. The primary aims of these programs are for: hazard or fuel reduction: prescribed burning is used to reduce the amount of fuel in order to reduce the intensity, rate of spread and...
The forested catchments of the Upper Yarra Water reservoir are a vital part of Melbourne’s water supply. However, large-scale high-severity bushfires are a natural occurrence in these forests and bushfire risk is a key consideration for Melbourne Water. A range of...
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...
How do we translate complex and evolving scientific knowledge about wildfire into clear guidance for decision makers and the public? Health and medicine have a strong track record of synthesising and summarising complex information on specific issues for health...
