In this study the authors assessed the extent of burning and rockiness in 3712 5 x 5m quadrats along 9.2 km of transects, sampling five different fires in sandstone heaths. This was done as it is thought that current fire regimes are reducing the populations of many sandstone plants.

The results indicated that

This chapter presents reasons for concern over the high fire frequency found in the Top End of the Northern Territory, including:

This chapter introduces the Kapalga fire experiment. Kapalga was chosen for a landscape scale fire experiment due to its typical savanna vegetation, its diverse range of native fauna, and its location between two major rivers to the east and west, and a highway to the south.

This article summarises the Kapalga fire experiment. It includes information about  the four different types of fires tested during the experiment and the impact of the varying fire regimes on plants and animals.
