Overview
Prescribed fire is widely used in forest landscapes in south-west Western Australia for a range of land management objectives including conservation of biodiversity, fuel reduction for mitigation of bushfires, and regeneration of areas after timber harvesting. Managers require knowledge of the ecological effects of fire in order to apply fire regimes that are consistent with these management objectives. However, there is limited information about how the biota responds to long-term fire management practices, especially at whole-of-community level. This research sought to provide this information.
