The Myth of Fuel Reduction
Associate Professor Phil Zylstra on the Just Ecology podcast"...Phil has investigated some really fundamental questions about how fire actually behaves in Australian forests and how vegetation changes following fire. He's developed sophisticated fire-behaviour models that look beyond simply how much fuel is present, to consider things like the species involved, plant traits, vegetation structure and how those characteristics influence whether and how a fire spreads." >>

"Some ecologists and scientists say the science behind planned burning is thin, and could result in more flammable bush material. "
"The evidence to support prescribed burning is actually remarkably thin," Professor Lindenmayer said. "The aim of the game is to reduce fire risk, but in some cases ... prescribed burning could be making it worse in the medium to long-term."

Prescribed burns on the meadow! Next I'll see what native plants grow from the seedbank, and some areas will be planted with native hardwoods and shrubs.
The last image shows a close-up after burning--a burned field next to an area that wasn't burned.
