This program is helping firefighters, land managers and the broader community learn to manage fire and understand its importance as a land management tool. It is gaining a better understanding of the role of fire in Australian ecosystems. From the forests of Western Australia to the tropical savannas of the north, Bushfire CRC scientists are looking at fire as an integral part of the landscape.

The following links are to the publications from each project within the program: 

• Managing fires in forested landscapes in south western Australia
• Fire regimes and sustainable landscape risk management
• Behaviour of smoke plumes and hazes from rural or urban fires
• Smoke composition from prescribed wildfires and health
• Impacts of fire on ecological processes and biodiversity
• Prescribed fire and diversity in tropical savannas
• Multi-scale patterns in ecological processes and fire regime impacts
• The HighFire project: underpinning evidence based policy for fire regimes
