Leading researchers give an overview of the field of fire ecology in Australia.

In this book leading researchers in fire ecology and management discuss how fire regimes have shaped and will continue to shape the distribution and abundance of Australia's highly diverse plants and animals. Central to this is the exploration of the concept of the fire regime - the cumulative pattern of fires and their individual characteristics (fire type, frequency, intensity season) and how variation in regime components affects landscapes and their constituent biota.

Ross A. Bradstock has published widely on fire ecology and fire management and has been influential in the development of fire policy in Australia. A. Malcolm Gill retired from CSIRO after a career more than 30 years and is currently a Research Fellow at the ANU. He received an Order of Australia in 1999 for his service to the scientific research on fire. change. Richard J. Williams has researched and lectured in plant ecology for 30 years. He is currently leading research projects on fire regimes and biodiversity and fire regimes and carbon. He has co-edited two books.
