- Abstract
The article presents a study which assesses the decadal responses of eucalypt-dominated savanna to close fire regimes in Australia and Africa. The study shows the mean annual frequency of plot burning at 0.53 over the study period. It illustrates the variability of species and structural responses due to stem recruitment and juvenile declines. It also demonstrates the effect of significant regional fire regime change, though it obtains undesirable structural consequences and risks.
