Determinants of the occurrence of unburnt forest patches: Potential biotic refuges within a large, intense wildfire in south-eastern Australia

2014-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Large, intense fires are generators of heterogeneity in many ecosystems. An important component of this heterogeneity is the occurrence of unburnt patches within the fire boundary: these fulfil a number of ecological functions including serving as refuges for fire-sensitive organisms. An important issue for land managers is the degree to which potential refuges occur ‘naturally’ versus occurring as a result of int...
