Patterns of flammability after a sequence of mixed‐severity wildfire in dry eucalypt forests of southern Australia

Ecosphere, 2021
Fire severity is the impact of a fire on the landscape, particularly the physical impact on vegetation. Previous studies have established that the severity of a fire can be influenced by the severity of previous fires.
