Abstract
Aim: Deliver research infrastructure to inform how to effectively manage imposed fire regimes in tropical savanna landscapes.
Key research questions:
1. What are the effects of management-imposed fire regimes on the responses of the savanna matrix, flora and fauna species?
2. What are the effects of management-imposed fire regimes on vegetation and associated biomass dynamics?
Surveys:
- The occurrence of fire is assessed bi-annually on-ground and satellite derived fire mapping is conducted three times a year.
- A full inventory of vegetation is undertaken every five years.
- Terrestrial vertebrates are monitored systematically but on an irregular and less frequent basis.
