在《易燃的澳大利亚：变化世界中的火灾制度、生物多样性和生态系统》一书中，火灾生态学和管理领域的顶尖研究人员讨论了火灾制度如何塑造并将继续影响澳大利亚高度多样化的动植物的分布和丰富度。其核心是对火势概念的探索——火灾的累积模式及其个体特征（火灾类型、频率、强度、季节）以及火势组成部分的变化如何影响景观及其组成生物群。 44 位作者的贡献探讨了广泛的主题，包括经典主题，如史前和进化、火灾行为、关键生物群落的火灾状况、植物和动物生命周期、火灾状况的遥感和建模，以及气候变化和火灾状况、碳动态和管理火灾状况以实现多种效益的机会等新兴问题。面对重大的全球变化，保护我们的本土物种和生态系统需要了解火灾和景观相互作用时的过程。本书以世界上最易燃的大陆之一为背景，对这一复杂的科学进行了全面的阐述。
In Flammable Australia: Fire Regimes, Biodiversity and Ecosystems in a Changing World, leading researchers in fire ecology and management discuss how fire regimes have shaped and will continue to shape the distribution and abundance of Australia’s highly diverse plants and animals. Central to this is the exploration of the concept of the fire regime – the cumulative pattern of fires and their individual characteristics (fire type, frequency, intensity, season) and how variation in regime components affects landscapes and their constituent biota. Contributions by 44 authors explore a wide range of topics including classical themes such as pre-history and evolution, fire behaviour, fire regimes in key biomes, plant and animal life cycles, remote sensing and modelling of fire regimes, and emerging issues such as climate change and fire regimes, carbon dynamics and opportunities for managing fire regimes for multiple benefits. In the face of significant global change, the conservation of our native species and ecosystems requires an understanding of the processes at play when fires and landscapes interact. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of this complex science, in the context of one of the world’s most flammable continents.
