This project aims to understand how fire affects the northern Australian savannah. European arrival changed how fire was used in Australia. This project will use ecology, palaeoecology and model development to develop pre-European ecological baselines in northern Australia and to reconstruct changes in plant cover in response to changes in fire regime. By understanding the effect of fire, the project will support the effective maintenance of the ecological integrity and biodiversity of the savannah landscapes.

该项目旨在了解火灾如何影响澳大利亚北部大草原。欧洲人的到来改变了澳大利亚用火的方式。该项目将利用生态学、古生态学和模型开发来制定澳大利亚北部的前欧洲生态基线，并重建植物覆盖的变化以应对火情的变化。通过了解火灾的影响，该项目将支持有效维护草原景观的生态完整性和生物多样性。
