The Impact of Fire on Biodiversity | #45
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Luke Kelly, Associate Professor in Quantitative Ecology at the University of Melbourne, joins us to discuss his research on fire and biodiversity in Australia, focusing on the diverse ecosystems, the challenges posed by changing fire regimes, and the role of grazing and invasive species. We explore the importance of understanding plant traits in relation to fire resilience and the ongoing biodiversity crisis, and how Australian fire science is working to address these issues. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Resources:</p> <p><a href="https://pdfhost.io/v/MKLCoq7oS_Kelly_et_al_2023">Kelly, L.
