This research aims to understand the effects of both bushfire and planned burning, on ecosystem resilience in the Lowan Mallee Ecological Fire Group (EFG) by:
- providing knowledge and data-based evidence to support strategic bushfire management modelling, evaluation, reporting and decision making
- enabling rigorous assessment of ecosystem resilience metrics across this EFG, as improved empirical data supports modelling and analysis/program adaptation, used to understand their effectiveness for guiding fire management
- verifying that underlying assumptions or evaluation of existing EFG data are robust and scientifically valid and enabling trend analysis.
