The moisture content of dead fuels is an important determinant of many aspects of bushfire
behaviour. Understanding the relationships of fuel moisture with weather, fuels and …

The design and implementation of pre-fire management strategies in heterogeneous
landscapes requires the identification of the ecological conditions contributing to the most …

In recent years, advances in computational power and spatial data analysis (GIS, remote
sensing, etc) have led to an increase in attempts to model the spread and behaviour of …

Live fuel moisture content is an important variable for assessing fire risk. Satellite
observations provide the potential for monitoring fuel moisture across large areas. The …

Factors affecting ignition thresholds of the litter layer of shrubland vegetation were
investigated using reconstructed litter beds in a laboratory. The factors investigated were …

Shrub-dominated ecosystems cover large areas globally and play essential roles in
ecological processes. Aboveground biomass expressed on an area basis (AGB) is central to …

Prescribed burning is used in Australia as a tool to manage fire risk and protect assets. A key
challenge is deciding how to arrange the burns to generate the highest benefits to society …

Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) plays a critical role in wildfire dynamics, but little is known
about responses of LFMC to multivariate climate change, eg, warming temperature, CO 2 …

Diversity effects on many aspects of ecosystem function have been well documented.
However, fire is an exception: fire experiments have mainly included single species, bulk …

The evaluation of forest fuel loading is required by most fire management activities.
However, the consideration of shrub biomass for forest planning purposes has been limited …
