Optimising the spatial planning of prescribed burns to achieve multiple objectives in a fire-dependent ecosystem

1. There is potential for negative consequences for the ecological integrity of fire-dependent ecosystems as a result of inappropriate fire regimes. This can occur when asset (property) protection is prioritised over conservation objectives in burn programs. 2. Optimisation of fire management for mu...
