[HTML][HTML] Pyrodiversity trade-offs: A simulation study of the effects of fire size and dispersal ability on native mammal populations in northern Australian savannas
Maximising the spatiotemporal variability of prescribed fire (ie pyrodiversity) is often thought
to benefit biodiversity. However, given mixed empirical support, the generality of the …
