There has been extensive commentary about historical First Nations' land management in
Australia, including in tall, wet forests, and therefore their condition at the time of the British …

Forest fire risk, and how it changes over time, has important influences on forest dynamics.
Two common models describing how fire risk changes with stand development, known as …

Australian forest ecosystems cover almost 16% of Australia's landmass. As the seventh‐
largest forested area worldwide, these forest ecosystems have largely evolved in the face of …

Knowing how species and communities respond to environmental change is fundamental in
the context of climate change. The search for patterns of abundance and phenotypic …

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 …

Our understanding of how environmental heterogeneity shapes plant community dynamics
is largely based on above-ground diversity despite the importance of seed banks as …

Old-growth forests provide many ecosystem services and benefits. However, they are
becoming increasingly rare and thus are an urgent priority for conservation. Accurately …

Context Effective conservation planning for species depends on vegetation models that can
capture the dynamics of habitat elements across both spatial and temporal domains …

Modern approaches to predictive ecosystem map** (PEM) have not thoroughly explored
the use of 'characteristic'gradients, which describe vegetation structure (eg, light detection …

Context Multi-species native forests are an important source of habitat for many plant and
animal species. The dynamics of these forests are shaped by species-specific differences in …
