Abstract

Recently, Zylstra et al. reported that wet sclerophyll forest left unburnt for 75 years experiences a marked decrease in flammability, requiring a radical rethink about fire management. This also highlights the vertical dimension of fires, with species conservation favored by a mosaic of fire types (high pyrodiversity).
