Every plant burns differently, some fast and some slow. But which native plants would be most dangerous to have near your house? smh.com.au/interactive/2023/… via @smh

In a bushfire, these trees are the most dangerous to have near your house

Excited to share the first chapter of my PhD, published in @Fire_MDPI this week. Forest structure drives FMC response across alternative forest states 🌳🔥🧐 mdpi.com/2571-6255/4/3/48 @asinbar @jeeburton @drgarysheridan @ForestHydroMelb

Forest Structure Drives Fuel Moisture Response across Alternative Forest States

Climate warming is expected to increase fire frequency in many productive obligate seeder forests, where repeated high-intensity fire can initiate stand conversion to alternative states with contra...

Many years of work published today in @MethodsEcolEvol. FRaME (Fire Research and Modelling Environment) is an R-based model that mechanistically predicts fire behaviour and first-order fire effects (soil & stem heating etc) from plant traits. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Linking fire behaviour and its ecological effects to plant traits, using FRaME in R

Floral fire ecology incorporates a feedback loop in which plants influence fire behaviour and fire behaviour influences the flora. Recent advances in fire behaviour modelling have quantified many ...

What can the size and shapes of dried leaves tell us about forest fires? Read @jeeburton @unimelb article on new @JEcology research in the @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/how-the-…

How the size and shape of dried leaves can turn small flames into colossal bushfires

New research found curly leaves on the forest floor create litter beds with more air gaps. And this fuels bigger fires.

What a nice Christmas present! Our paper on how fire, drought, productivity and functional traits drive dead wood biomass has just been published. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cIyB…

A traits based analysis of flammability by @jane_cawson @The_Snark journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Plant traits linked to field-scale flammability metrics in prescribed burns in Eucalyptus forest

Vegetation is a key determinant of wildfire behaviour at field scales as it functions as fuel. Past studies in the laboratory show that plant flammability, the ability of plants to ignite and...

Lovely Peppermint bark in the Wombat Forest of Victoria. Check today's earlier tweet to learn what causes that orange rust. #EucBeaut #carotenoids #OzPlants #wombatforest
