Fire is pivotal to the functioning of ecosystems in Australia,
affecting the distribution and abundance of the continent's unique
and highly diverse range of plants and animals. Conservation of
this natural biodiversity therefore requires a good understanding
of scientific processes involved in the action of fire on the
landscape. This book provides a synthesis of current knowledge in
this area and its application in contemporary land management.
Central to the discussion is an exploration of the concept of the
fire regime - the cumulative pattern of fires and their individual
characteristics (fire type, frequency, intensity and season) - and
its interactions with biodiversity. Contributions by thirty-two
leading experts cover a broad sweep of topics, including
prehistory, future climate change, fire behaviour, modelling of
temporal and spatial patterns, plant and animal life-cycles, case
studies of major ecosystems, and management policies and systems.
