Australia's Megafires
Paperback Edition: 1
Explores the impacts of the Black Summer bushfires on biodiversity, and the lessons to be learnt.
The Australian wildfires of 2019 - 20 (Black Summer) were devastating and unprecedented. These megafires burnt more than 10 million hectares, mostly of forests in southern and eastern Australia. Many of the fires were uncontrollable. These megafires affected many of Australias most important conservation areas and severely impacted threatened species and ecological communities. They were a consequence of climate change and offered a glimpse of how this is likely to continue to affect our future.
Australias Megafires includes contributions by more than 200 researchers and managers with direct involvement in the management and conservation of the biodiversity affected by the Black Summer wildfires. It provides a comprehensive review of the impacts of these fires on all components of biodiversity, and on Indigenous cultural values.Pages : 512
