Dario’s project is studying the 2016 central Tasmanian bushfires that destroyed significant natural and cultural assets within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. His research is structured in three spatio-temporal scales: 1) the biological impacts of the fires in one endemic subspecies of eucalyptus, 2) landscape ecology of the fires in one area severely affected area and 3) climate and hydrological contextualisation of the preceding conditions to the 2015/2016 fire season in Tasmania. This research will provide land managers with new ecological findings in plant recovery after fire and better uses of river data in fire management.
