DOI: 10.1111/aec.70099
Abstract: Fire is an important factor influencing the evolution, structure and composition of Australia's native vegetation. Australia's many fire‐adapted species regenerate en masse after fire, with a proliferation of new epicormic shoots and seedlings. Given Austropuccinia… read more here.
