Many forest types globally have been subject to an increase in the frequency of, and area
burnt by, high‐severity wildfire. Here we explore the role that previous disturbance has …

With more frequent and intense fires expected under future climate conditions, it is important
to understand the mechanisms that control flammability in Australian forests. We followed a …

Forest wildfire impact is widely believed to increase with time since disturbance, presenting
a dilemma for the persistence of fire‐sensitive species. However, in south‐western Australia …

As climatic changes continue to drive increases in the frequency and severity of forest fires, it
is critical to understand all of the factors influencing the risk of forest fire. Using a spatial …

The suggestion has been made within the wildland fire community that the rate of spread in
the upper portion of the fire danger spectrum is largely independent of the physical fuel …

Wildfire risk-management needs to consider interrelated factors that influence fire regimes,
including changing climate and sometimes conflicting stakeholder priorities. With wildfires …

Modeling forest fire behavior is very important for the effective control of forest fires and the
setting up of necessary precautions before fires start. However, studies of forest fire behavior …

Background Assessments of fuel (vegetation) are needed to predict fire behaviour. Broad
visual methods support quick in-field management decisions but can be too imprecise to …

Historically unprecedented areas of forest habitat have been impacted by fire, as climate
change and other anthropogenic disturbances drive increases in fire burned area and …

Wildfire behaviour depends on complex interactions between fuels, topography and
weather, over a wide range of scales, being important for fire research and management …
