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...
PF Olsen Australia manages a diverse plantation estate across Australia on behalf of various clients. The estate contains patches of remnant vegetation and there is a need to monitor the quality of these patches through time. This project aims to develop a vegetation...
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 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...
Fire managers are increasingly relying on fuel management and suppression efforts to control the impacts of shifting fire regimes. Previous research has demonstrated that when properly applied, these management actions can reduce risks. However, the placement, timing,...
