Over recent years, research within FLARE’s Landscape Flammability theme has been uncovering how microclimate influences vegetation flammability and fire behaviour. A key finding has been the importance of in-forest vapour pressure deficit (VPD) — a measure of the...
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...
Electricity networks face a number of competing challenges, including the regulatory requirement to deliver a reliable, modernised system that can operate under a changing climate. It is therefore important that energy providers consider the impacts of natural events...
Understanding how fire regimes are shifting with climate change and therefore how bushfire risks are changing is a key knowledge gap for many management jurisdictions in Australia, including biodiversity management. Preserving species and communities going forward...
This project builds on a related project – Overnight fire weather conditions in NSW during Black Summer – to explore spatial and temporal patterns in overnight fire weather conditions in south-eastern Australia. It will help to build up a picture of...
