Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests
Climate change is affecting the distribution of species and the functioning of ecosystems. For
species that are slow growing and poorly dispersed, climate change can force a lag …

The curse of conservation: Empirical evidence demonstrating that changes in land-use legislation drove catastrophic bushfires in Southeast Australia
Protecting “wilderness” and removing human involvement in “nature” was a core pillar of the
modern conservation movement through the 20th century. Conservation approaches and …
