This project aims to investigate how the season of fire, arguably one of the biggest changes brought about by fire management, can impact ecosystems and the persistence of threatened species. The project expects to generate new yet fundamental knowledge of how the timing of fire has shifted, using a multidisciplinary team with expertise in remote sensing and fire ecology, and experimentally assess fire season effects on soil properties and plant persistence. The project aims to enhance capacity of conservation agencies across Australia to effectively implement fires while maintaining biodiversity values. This should provide significant benefits for informed management of the large numbers of threatened species under their protection.

该项目旨在调查火灾季节如何影响生态系统和受威胁物种的持久性。火灾季节可以说是火灾管理带来的最大变化之一。该项目希望利用一个在遥感和火灾生态学方面具有专业知识的多学科团队，产生关于火灾时间如何变化的新的但基本的知识，并通过实验评估火灾季节对土壤属性和植物持久性的影响。该项目旨在提高澳大利亚各地保护机构在保持生物多样性价值的同时有效实施火灾的能力。这将为对受其保护的大量受威胁物种进行知情管理提供重大好处。
