Spatially explicit solutions for managing fire and biodiversity

该项目旨在制定一个框架，以预测未来火灾状况对动植物物种分布和丰度的影响。不适当的火灾制度是澳大利亚生物多样性面临的最大威胁之一。迫切需要更好地了解物种如何应对火灾，并制定有效的火灾管理战略，以实现保护目标。该项目旨在整合生态模型、火灾行为模拟和正式决策方法，以评估真实景观中的替代火灾情景。预计主要成果将是相关的生态模型和决策工具，帮助管理人员更好地保护易燃景观中的生物多样性。

This project aims to develop a framework for predicting the impact of future fire regimes on the distribution and abundance of plant and animal species. Inappropriate fire regimes are one of the most significant threats to biodiversity in Australia. There is an urgent need to better understand how species respond to fire and to develop effective fire management strategies that achieve conservation goals. This project intends to integrate ecological models, fire behaviour simulation and formal decision-making approaches to evaluate alternative fire scenarios in real landscapes. The major output is anticipated to be linked ecological models and decision tools that help managers to better protect biodiversity in flammable landscapes.
