This presentation by Wayne Kington of the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council discusses how the National Burning Project has brought together inter-related aspects of prescribed burning across Australasia to design a national framework for addressing ecological risks that arise from inappropriate fire and fire regimes.

This presentation by Dr Matthew Swan of the University of Melbourne discusses how data from a long term fire effects study conducted at the landscape scale in the Otway Ranges since 2010 has been used to opportunistically conduct a replicated fire experiment. The results provide insight into the immediate effects of fire on the abundance and distribution of ground dwelling mammals and their use of refugia in the short term after fire events.

John Hunter (on behalf of Peter Croft) of the University of New England describes how wildfires and hazard reduction burns affect both the quality and amount of fauna habitat in Australian forests and woodlands. This presentation shows that the potential deleterious impacts on fauna of increased hazard reduction targets can be mitigated only by undertaking strategic burning, protecting remnant areas of long unburnt vegetation and increasing the upper fire thresholds of some vegetation communities in fire management.

This presentation by Luke Smith of the Vic. Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning and Emily Cordy of the Federation University Australia shows that planned burns cause hollow-bearing trees, a vital ecological asset in most mature forest ecosystems, to collapse at an elevated rate. Their study highlights the importance of mitigation through manual vegetation clearing, modification of burning prescriptions and ignition pattern.

This presentation by Dr John Hunter of the University of New England discusses why the re-introduction of regular fire on north coast grassy headlands would be an inappropriate management strategy and could possibly cause loss of threatened species, reduction in richness and diversity and homogenisation of the system.

New Zealand Marine Sciences Society & Australian Marine Sciences Association Joint Conference 2016 Shane Orchard, Mike Hickford & David Schiel Īnanga (Galaxias maculatus) are known to use specific locations for spawning. These sites are on riparian margins in upper estuarine areas near the spring high tide waterline. Many anthropogenic activities that occur in the same area may present threats to the availability and condition of spawning sites. These factors suggest that spawning may be a vulnerable stage in the life cycle and that spawning sites are an important focus for management. Such sites may be susceptible to land use change and will undoubtedly be affected by sea level rise. To ascertain if these potential vulnerabilities are real, it is necessary to identify and characterise the actual sites used for spawning. This underpins the understanding of potential threats and is necessary for the assessment of specific risks under various management scenarios. However, the biogeography of these sites varies spatially and temporally, so unravelling the spatial ecology of spawning sites remains a key requirement for quantifying the impacts of various activities and for assessing the effectiveness of protection measures. Here we describe an approach to address these questions. We include an example application to assess changed patterns of vulnerability in the waterways of Ōtautahi Christchurch after the Canterbury earthquakes. Analysis shows that spawning sites were resilient to earthquake changes, but that vulnerabilities to human activities remain. Addressing these effectively presents opportunities to improve outcomes within the wider context for waterways management.
