Modified, more severe fire regimes are developing in the Mediterranean basin as a result of
changes in land use and climate. Current fire management privileges fire suppression and …

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 …

This paper describes the development of two empirical models to predict the potential
spread of an established line of fire in dry eucalypt forest with a shrubby understorey. These …

Wildland fires have an irreplaceable role in sustaining many of our forests, shrublands and
grasslands. They can be used as controlled burns or occur as free-burning wildfires, and …

Prescribed burning is an important but often controversial fire‐management tool in fire‐
prone regions of the world. Here, we explore the complex challenges of prescribing fire for …

The influence of plant traits on forest fire behaviour has evolutionary, ecological and
management implications, but is poorly understood and frequently discounted. We use a …

Prescribed fire has been used in a coordinated manner to manage fuels in eucalypt forests
of southern Australia since the 1950s. The impetus for planned use of fire arose from the …

Reliable and accurate models of the speed of a wildfire front as it moves across the
landscape are essential for the timely prediction of its propagation, to devise suitable …

Mixed-species eucalypt forests of temperate Australia are assumed tolerant of most fire
regimes based on the impressive capacity of the dominant eucalypts to resprout. However …

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 …
