ABSTRACT Aim To compare field‐based evidence of plant and animal responses to fire with remotely sensed signals heterogeneity post‐fire biomass recovery. Location South‐eastern Australia; New South Wales. Time Period 2019–2022. Major Taxa Studied A total 982 species plants animals, in eight taxonomic groups: amphibians, birds, fish, insects, mammals, molluscs, reptiles. Methods We collated 545,223 response records from 47 field surveys 4613 sites that focussed on areas burnt 2019–2020. For...
Abstract Aim Exotic perennial grasses (EPGs) are significant invaders of native grassy communities. We sought to determine how the profile invading varies among different climatic regions and communities, understand at which scale management is best undertaken. investigated whether invader occurrence was related specific plant traits. Location New South Wales, Australia. Method Field surveys EPGs 139 sites from nine communities across four were assessed for variation in invasion profiles...
Summary Exotic perennial grasses (EPGs) pose a significant risk to native communities globally. With over 2,200 species in Australia, understanding which characteristics enable high threat invasions, and comparing between functionally similar EPGs, can help prioritise management. We developed framework of used the literature rank 21 EPGs considered plant New South Wales, while also evaluating reliability information currently available. Characteristics were scored within five broad...
