- Abstract
This article discusses the applicability of post-harvest regeneration burns (PHRB) for forest harvesting in Tasmania and the vulnerability of the endangered Giant Velvet Worms (GVW), commonly known as Tasmanipatus barretti, to this forest practice. An overview of implementing low-intensity PHRB and high-intensity PHRB to reduce the amount of harvesting residue and thus prevent long-term fire risk in dry and wet forests is offered. Information on the methods followed during the ecological research and the results observed is presented. It is suggested that a strategic approach is needed that accounts for silviculture and ecological management.
