Funded Activity Summary
Management of fire-prone shrublands in Western Australia: testing the effects of frequent fire. Understanding the impacts of different fire regimes (frequency, intensity, patchiness, size of fires) on high diversity shrublands will help CALM (the land managers) develop fire management prescriptions that ensure the conservation of rare and threatened flora, and maintain biodiversity. The research will identify relationships between weather, fuel and fire behaviour that is currently lacking for shrubland vegetation types. It offers advances in our understanding of ecosystem structure and function, with applied value in fire management for conservation and asset protection. The project contributes to development of ecological theory, and provides a scientific basis for improved management of Australia's unique natural heritage.Funded Activity Details
