Applied Fire Ecology Research
South East Queensland has a number of unique ecosystems, ranging from moist subtropical rainforest to heathland and dry open grassy woodlands. It is also the fastest growing region in Australia, with over 2.7 million people impacting on native vegetation and ecosystems. Therefore, the QFBC is ideally placed to undertake fire ecology research initiatives, especially those concerned with recommended fire management practices and other mitigation efforts, and translate these results into practical information for land managers and land owners. See research projects below, completed in recent years and click on the links to learn more about some of these projects.
