Overview
The International Bushfire Research Conference 2008 - incorporating The 15th annual AFAC Conference, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Forest plantations play an important role in the economies of both Australia and New Zealand. The species used in these plantations are relatively sensitive to fire so effective fire management is an essential part of plantation management. This presentation summarises research knowledge of fuels and behaviour of fires in forest plantations and the fire and land management actions that can be taken to protect these forests, their adjoining neighbours and communities, and the safety of firefighters.
