Project leadership
This project was completed with the support of the CRC's funding for quick response. It assessed the severity of bushfire impacts on vegetation in previously marked permanent sample plots and investigated relationships between severity and stem density. Researchers also recorded regeneration of species, especially E. pilularis, remarked permanent sample plots, retagged individually tagged trees, and established subplots for monitoring seedlings.
