Academics Luke Kelly, Ella Plumanns Pouton, Trent Penman and Dr Matthew Swan from the FLARE group based in Creswick are researching how to predict plants' response to bushfires and how we can better manage them. Tap to learn more ➡️ unimelb.me/3xomAeZ

Gloomy stuff: 'topography and disturbance history cannot substantially counter the effects of high atmospheric dryness; therefore, the effectiveness of mesic forest as a barrier to the development of large forest fires is weakening as the climate warms.'

New paper from my PhD with Luke Kelly , Matt Swan, and Trent Penman !

We harnessed the incredible diversity of plants and their traits, to see if we could predict how plant populations change according to time since fire (from 0 to 81 years).
Today we celebrate 11 years since the Dja Dja Wurrung peoples and Victorian Government reached a landmark native title settlement.
Their Agreement under the Traditional Owner Settlement Act 2010 (Vic) recognises their rights to their lands in central Victoria.
