In temperate Australia, wildfires are predicted to be more frequent and severe under climate
change. This could lead to marked changes in tree mortality and regeneration in the region's …

Tree species exceeding 70 m in height are rare globally. Giant gymnosperms are
concentrated near the Pacific coast of the USA, while the tallest angiosperms are eucalypts …

Indigenous people play an integral role in sha** natural environments, and the disruption
to Indigenous land management practices has profound effects on the biosphere. Here, we …

Infrequent, high‐intensity disturbances can have profound impacts on forested landscapes,
changing forest structure and altering relative species abundance. However, due to their …

Carbon stock change due to forest management and disturbance must be accounted for in
UNFCCC national inventory reports and for signatories to the Kyoto Protocol. Impacts of …

Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) form a fundamental yet poorly quantified carbon pool
in trees. Studies of NSC seasonality in forest trees have seldom measured whole-tree NSC …

Silvicultural systems in native forests typically attempt to mimic natural disturbance regimes
to ensure that the dominant tree species and associated biodiversity persist. Where the …

Forests are key components of the global carbon cycle, with deforestation being an
important driver of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide. Temperate old-growth forests …

Determining the location of buds and bud‐forming meristems and hence the level of
protection from heat is essential to understanding plant response to fire. Most eucalypts …

Interactions between rainforest plants and fire occur when fires encroach into rainforest and
when rainforest pioneers colonise fire-prone open forests. Although numerous studies show …
