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 …

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 …
