The 2019–20 wildfires in eastern Australia presented a globally important opportunity to
evaluate the respective roles of climatic drivers and natural and anthropogenic disturbances in …

The 2019–20 Australian fire season was heralded as emblematic of the catastrophic harm
wrought by climate change. Similarly extreme wildfire seasons have occurred across the …

Ecological resilience is the capacity of a system to maintain function following disturbance.
With the frequency and severity of wildfire activity increasing due to warmer and drier global …

Early and ongoing monitoring of post-fire recovery dynamics is critical for understanding the
ecological resilience of forests. The unprecedented scale of Australia’s Black Summer of …

Context Climate change is causing changes to seasonal food resources, with critical health
and survival impacts for many species. The endangered Burramys parvus (mountain pygmy-…

Mapping of fire extent and severity across broad landscapes and timeframes using remote
sensing approaches is valuable to inform ecological research, biodiversity conservation and …

Aim To estimate loss of above‐ground carbon (AGC) and conversion of live carbon to dead
carbon following understorey and canopy fire. Location South‐eastern Australia. Time period …

NATURE ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION continuous variable that is subsequently segmented into
pragmatically defined categories that scale to the degree of canopy damage. For instance, …

Aim We investigated how the probability of burning is influenced by the time since fire ( TSF
) and gradients of climate, soil and vegetation in the fire‐prone mediterranean‐climate …

Background: Simulations of fire spread are vital for operational fire management and strategic
risk planning. Aims: To quantify burn heterogeneity effects on post-fire fuel loads, and test …
