Forest scientist. I like forestry & fire ecology but generally if there are trees in it you have my attention. Usual story: views my own, retweet ≠ endorsement

    We assume eucalypts to be very tolerant to being burned once every couple of decades - but what about if they get burned a couple of times in a decade? This was the question I tackled in this latest paper.

    Same tree species. The big one is 50 years old, the little one is 160 years old!

    Look i wasn’t going to put these on twitter but it all seems very stressful in the bad place. So: look! Epicormic regrowth in Gippsland.

    How to grow a snowgum beyond a subalpine ? Warm the environment by ~2deg C in an open top chamber. Hey presto - self sown sapling emerges in Grassland where no other saplings grow

    Nice explanation of resprouters and seeders from Tina Bell, and how they may be faring after the fires. Waking up: How our bushfire-ravaged land is coming back

    Until recently, we could be confident that most of the trees in our Australian forests would recover from most fires, but that confidence is wavering 🌳

    Here's an explainer on how Australian forests respond to fire and why Australia’s severe bushfires may be bad news for tree regeneration

    ‼️ New paper! 📄 We used an experimental survey to explore how describing land use change in terms of social conflict (or not) affects public opinion. Big sample, lots of stats, some useful findings. Here’s a summary of 2 key findings. (And paper is here: )

    Check out this infographic of the impact of the bushfires in Victoria on our state's biodiversity and the Victorian Government's response through the allocation of $17.5 million for emergency actions. Will be updated.

    Thoughtful piece. I've received nasty emails & personal attacks for criticising the insect apocalypse saga. Yes, I've worried about my career. But the many colleagues who have supported me (publicly & privately) are stronger than the few nasties!

    When I started my PhD in late 2013, there was still a bit of a question of whether forest burned by short-interval wildfire was something of a historical anomaly. As of 2020, we have nearly 1 million hectares of forest burned twice since 2003. Report here:

    Australia is a land that has long known fire. But in recent decades bushfire patterns are changing too fast for our native flora and fauna to adapt and survive. Learn more:

    Just glimpsed the CSIRO glasshouses: none left standing. Think of all the experiments destroyed.

    I did a lot of field work in East Gippsland a few years back, and a favourite forestry heritage spot to visit was Stringers Knob - a 1941 fire tower constructed by fusing together yellow stringybark & ironbark tree trunks. Sad to learn today it didn't survive the recent fires.
