The 2019/2020 mega-fires exposed Australian ecosystems to an unprecedented extent of high-severity fire

Luke Collins et al.

Summary: This study found that while the wildfires in south-eastern Australia in 2019/2020 were larger in extent, they were not proportionally more severe than previous fires. High-severity fire area increased in wet-forests and less-common rainforest areas, accounting for 44% of the burnt area in 2019/2020.

The Effect of Antecedent Fire Severity on Reburn Severity and Fuel Structure in a Resprouting Eucalypt Forest in Victoria, Australia

Luke Collins et al.

Summary: The feedbacks between fire severity, vegetation structure and ecosystem flammability in highly fire-tolerant forests dominated by epicormic resprouters are understudied. The study found that fuel structure is sensitive to the time since the previous canopy fire, but not the number of canopy fires.

The effect of species, size, and fire intensity on tree mortality within a catastrophic bushfire complex

Raphael Trouve et al.

Summary: The study reveals that different tree species have varying susceptibilities to fire-induced mortality, with Eucalyptus obliqua being the most resistant. High-intensity fires lead to compositional shifts in cool temperate rainforest and mixed forest sites. Resprouting plays a crucial role in the adaptation to fire in these landscapes.

Limits to post-fire vegetation recovery under climate change

Rachael H. Nolan et al.

Summary: Research suggests that while many plant communities may remain resilient to shifting fire regimes in the short-term, long-term changes in vegetation structure, demography, and species composition are likely, which will have a range of subsequent effects on ecosystem function.

Connections of climate change and variability to large and extreme forest fires in southeast Australia

Nerilie J. Abram et al.

Summary: The unprecedented 2019/20 Black Summer bushfire disaster in southeast Australia was mainly caused by extreme dry climate and long-term climate trends leading to increased fire risk. Improving local and national adaptation measures while pursuing ambitious global climate change mitigation efforts are necessary to limit further increases in fire risk in southeast Australia. Multiple climate change contributors have led to an increase in fire extent and intensity over the past decades, and this trend is likely to continue into the future.
