Abating greenhouse gas emissions through strategic management of savanna fires: opportunities and challenges – Northern Territory
SUMMARY In the Northern Territory, savanna fires are the major single source of greenhouse gas emissions. A privately-funded project involving strategic fire management has shown that it is possible to mitigate emissions from fire, with social, economic and other environmental benefits. This case study discusses the implications of having savanna fire abatement projects recognised as offsets wi...
متن کاملModelling the trade-off between fire and grazing in a tropical savanna landscape, northern Australia.

متن کاملManaging the matrix: decadal responses of eucalypt-dominated savanna to ambient fire regimes.
Much of our understanding of the response of savanna systems to fire disturbance relies on observations derived from manipulative fire plot studies. Equivocal findings from both recent Australian and African savanna fire plot assessments have significant implications for informing conservation management and reliable estimation of biomass stocks and dynamics. Influential northern Australian rep...
