Changes to Aboriginal fire regimes since European occupation are thought have affected the range and demographic structure of many vegetation communities. This study shows a contraction by 49% area fire-prone open forest through rainforest invasion between 1945 1991-94 in northern wet tropics Queensland, Australia. Relative Growth Rates (RGR) for areas varied from -0.112 -0.005. Collaborative historical research with traditional owners, Kuku-Yalanji people, investigated possible linkages...
