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 project is designed to conduct post-fire investigation of house loss in NSW. It will provide insight into the effectiveness and appropriateness of the existing regulatory framework relevant to building bushfire protection and associated land-use planning...
Sclerophyll forests in southeast Australia have typically evolved alongside fire, and generally recover from single fire events. Anthropogenic climate change is increasing fire prevalence which means these forests are increasingly exposed to multi-fire events with...
Wilsons Promontory provides an example of how repeated short interval fires can prevent the regeneration of a Eucalyptus canopy in a range of ecological vegetation classes. The ‘destocking’ of forests can dramatically alter the composition, structure, and function...
Fire simulators have become an important tool for tactical and strategic fire management, as well as fire behaviour and risk research. This NHRA-funded project combines social science and natural sciences to understand how fire behaviour simulators are used in...
