In the summer of 2019/20, bushfires of unprecedented scale in south-eastern Australia focused attention on how forest management might have affected their risks and impacts. Some argued that the severity and extent of these fires were made worse by t

Fire behaviour research has largely focused on dry ecosystems that burn frequently, with far less attention on wetter forests. Yet, the impacts of fire in wet forests can be high and therefore understanding the drivers of fire in these systems is vit

Fire has been part of the natural environment of south-eastern Australia for tens of millions of years. Aboriginal people used fire selectively, with skill, for many reasons. The removal of Aborigi...

Operational forest fire simulation models typically incorporate reduction factors to modify winds forecast to meteorological standards for open environments so that they characterise the sub-canopy winds that drive fire spread. While these reduction

Fuel moisture is a key driver of forest flammability as it influences ignition likelihood, fire intensity and resultant fire severity. Changes to forest canopy cover following disturbances like wildfire or logging may alter forest flammability by cha

This study examined the effect of previous fuel reduction burning (FRB) on the severity of the >1 million ha 2003 Alpine Fire in eastern Victoria. Sixty-five paired observations (130 total) of fire severity were completed across the broad fire area u

Forest fires can impose substantial social, environmental and economic burdens on the communities on which they impact. Well managed and timely fire suppression can demonstrably reduce the area burnt and minimise consequent losses. In order to effect

Prescribed fires are a common management practice in the temperate forests of Australia, but effects on total forest carbon (C) of long-term prescribed fire regimes, involving multiple repeat fires, remain under-examined. This study quantified C stoc

Previous studies have found negligible effects of single prescribed fires on coarse woody debris (CWD), but the cumulative effects of repeated low-intensity prescribed fires are unknown. This represents a knowledge gap for environmental management be

Mega-fires are often defined according to their size and intensity but are more accurately described by their socioeconomic impacts. Three factors – climate change, fire exclusion, and antecedent disturbance, collectively referred to as the “mega
