Seeds buried in the soil tell of fire in the landscape. I sampled soil from 57 sites that experienced different patterns of fire. Over 15 months, I watched 39,701 plants grow to learn their secrets.
Efforts by First Nations groups to thin dense forest regrowth have come under fire in Victoria. The solution isn’t to restore “wilderness” – it’s to manage Country.
We compiled maps of bushfires and prescribed burns in southern Australia from 1980 to 2021 to see how fire activity is changing habitat for 129 threatened species such as mountain pygmy possums.
Logging over the past two centuries has had a major impact on Québec’s forests. The traces it has left will guide the adoption of sustainable forest management techniques.
The new paper also found some mammals are suffering due to a lack of fire.
