A bottom–up savanna fire fuel consumption inventory and its application to savanna burning in Kafue National Park, Zambia Open
Background Tropical savannas are the most extensively and frequently burned biome worldwide. To establish accurate emissions inventories for burning in tropical savannas, detailed biomass information is required. Available pan-tropical or …

Dynamics of standing dead wood and severe fire in north Australian savannas: implications for carbon management Open
Background Many fires in north Australian savannas are severe enough to cause canopy scorch, tree death and removal of stags. Better fire management may increase carbon sequestration in trees, perhaps including stags. Aims To describe and …

Seasonal litter decomposition and accumulation in north Australian savanna Open
Background Calculating greenhouse gas emissions from fires relies on estimation of available fuels at time of burn. Fuel accumulation and decomposition occur throughout the year, with seasonality of decomposition poorly researched in monso…

Framework for a savanna burning emissions abatement methodology applicable to fire-prone miombo woodlands in southern Africa Open
Background and aims To assess development of a robust emissions accounting framework for expansive miombo woodland savannas covering ~2 million km2 of southern Africa that typically are burnt under relatively severe late dry season (LDS) c…

Dynamic savanna burning emission factors based on satellite data using a machine learning approach Open
Landscape fires, predominantly found in the frequently burning global savannas, are a substantial source of greenhouse gases and aerosols. The impact of these fires on atmospheric composition is partially determined by the chemical breakup…

Incentivizing sustainable fire management in Australia's northern arid spinifex grasslands Open
Fire management across Australia's fire-prone 1.2 M km2 northern savannas region has been transformed over the past decade supported by the inception of Australia's national regulated emissions reduction market in 2012. Today, incentivised…

Seasonal skew of tropical savanna fires Open
Tropical savannas and grasslands are the most frequently burned biome in the world, and fire constitutes an important part of the ecosystem. In this ecosystem it can have both rejuvenating and destructive effects, depending on several fact…

Drivers of spatial and temporal variability in savanna fire emission factors Open
Roughly half of global fire emissions originate from savannas, and emission factors (EF) are used to quantify the amount of trace gases and aerosols emitted per unit dry matter burned. It is well known that these EFs vary substantially eve…

Using a demographic model to project the long‐term effects of fire management on tree biomass in Australian savannas Open
Tropical savannas are characterized by high primary productivity and high fire frequency, such that much of the carbon captured by vegetation is rapidly returned to the atmosphere. Hence, there have been suggestions that management‐driven …

Assessing the value of ecosystem services delivered by prescribed fire management in Australian tropical savannas Open
The savannas of tropical northern Australia, covering 1.9M km2, are relatively unmodified and support a very sparse human population (0.5 person/km2). Largely marginalised and impoverished Indigenous communities are key stakeholders in the…

Instantaneous Pre-Fire Biomass and Fuel Load Measurements from Multi-Spectral UAS Mapping in Southern African Savannas Open
Landscape fires are substantial sources of (greenhouse) gases and aerosols. Fires in savanna landscapes represent more than half of global fire carbon emissions. Quantifying emissions from fires relies on accurate burned area, fuel load an…

Fire Severity Mapping System for Australia Open
"Savanna Burning" methodologies to calculate greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) are applied across the tropical savannas and rangelands of north Australia. The program generates tens of millions of dollars annually by promoting improved fire…

Application of Market-Based Savanna Burning Approaches for Incentivising Sustainable Fire Management in Fire-Prone Savannas Open
Savannas constitute the most fire-prone ecosystem on Earth, contribute 10% of total annual carbon emissions, and are home to 10% of the human population. Despite recent centuries of European colonial fire policy prohibiting customary fire …

Tree recruitment dynamics in fire‐prone eucalypt savanna Open
Savanna sites are idealized as exhibiting a demographic “bottleneck” physiognomy comprising a lower stratum of abundant resprouting persistent “juveniles” (albeit of indeterminate age), a mid‐stratum comprising relatively few released “sap…
