Optimising fire management for a resilient future

优化火灾管理，打造弹性未来。该项目旨在量化火灾频率、火灾季节、入侵杂草和气候的变化如何相互作用，影响本地物种的持久性。对于负责保护生命财产和生物多样性保护的机构来说，火灾风险管理是一个难题。全球变化因子（降雨减少、变暖、入侵物种、生态系统破碎化）与与规定燃烧相关的火灾状态（间隔和季节）变化相互作用，影响本地物种的更新能力。预期的结果是减少燃料燃烧政策和管理的变化，以平衡和最大限度地减少火灾对经济、社会和生物多样性的风险。

Optimising fire management for a resilient future. This project aims to quantify how changes in fire frequency, fire season, invasive weeds and climate interact to affect native species’ persistence. Fire risk management is a conundrum for agencies responsible both for protection of life and property and biodiversity conservation. Global change factors (rainfall decline, warming, invasive species, ecosystem fragmentation) interact with changes in fire regime (interval and season) associated with prescribed burning to affect native species’ regeneration capacity. Anticipated outcomes are fuel reduction burning policy and management changes that balance and minimise risk of fire to economy, society and biodiversity.
