Overview
Recent experience in the use and management of the Australian high country, particularly in the light of the extensive 2003 and 2006 bushfires, suggests a clear need to examine the quality of the relevant science underpinning management policy and practice. To this end, and as opposed to many previous reviews of high-country science, this review of the science underpinning fire management in the high country of south eastern Australia has taken a quantitative approach similar to that used by Bennett and Adams (2004).
