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.

Pastoral managers in the savanna region of northern Australia are faced with some difficult short and long term decisions about what grasses should be used for – as fodder for animal production, or as a means of maintaining a tree/grass balance with fire.
