Banksia Woodland Fire Management

by Joe Fontaine and Neal Enright

School of Environmental and Conservation Sciences

2016(expected)–

Working in close partnership with the WA Dept of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions we are quantifying the plant and fuel dynamics of Banksia Woodlands in relation to fire history, productivity gradients, and landscape context. The work will directly inform decisions managers make on when and where to burn in terms of both risk assessment as well as biodiversity.
