The changing risk of fire to human and environmental assets under climate induced altered fire regimes in south-east Australia
Predicted climatic change will exacerbate wildfire conditions in fire prone regions globally, and result in increased risks to human and environmental assets. Fire and land management agencies need to understand the extent to which management can reduce future risk to plan in a changing environment. The aim of this study was to quantify the effectiveness of prescribed burning and initial attack fire-suppression on mitigating risks from fire to th…
Interdisciplinary challenges for wildfire futures
A flexible framework for cost-effective fire management
Fire management aims to change fire regimes. However, the challenge is to provide the optimal balance between the mitigation of risks to life and property, while ensuring a healthy environment and the protection of other key values in any given landscape. Incorporating cost-effectiveness and climate change impacts magnifies this task. We present an objective framework for quantitative comparison of the risk mitigation potential of alternative fue…
The 2019/2020 mega-fires exposed Australian ecosystems to an unprecedented extent of high-severity fire
Extreme fire seasons characterised by very large ‘mega-fires’ have demonstrably increased area burnt across forested regions globally. However, the effect of extreme fire seasons on fire severity, a measure of fire impacts on ecosystems, remains unclear. Very large wildfires burnt an unprecedented area of temperate forest, woodland and shrubland across south-eastern Australia in 2019/2020, providing an opportunity to examine the impact of extreme…
