Hoogenraad Auditorium, La Trobe Institute for Molecular
Sciences
LA TROBE UNIVERSITY, Bundoora Campus
Hosted by the Research Centre for Applied Alpine Ecology, La
Trobe University
This Symposium will showcase how science answers questions
about a current, highly topical management issue in the Australian Alps – the
effects of livestock grazing on fire regimes of the Australian High
Country. The guest speakers will address
globally important topics such as the evolution of Australia as a flammable
continent, how weather and fuels determine fire regimes, fire-grazing
interactions, and approaches to assessing the effectiveness of various fire
management options, including alpine grazing. This is a public forum about an
important land management issue, and there will be ample time for questions and
discussion at the conclusion of the talks. The Symposium will be followed by
drinks and nibbles.
This Symposium is a must for anyone with an interest in the
ecology and management of the Australian Alps.
