A Western Australian botanists says some native plants in the Fitzgerald River National Park are not rejuvenating from historical bushfires, and believes more research is required into the impact of all fires, including prescribed burns.
abc.net.au/news/fears-for-native-species-bushfire-fitzgerald-river-national-park/101959492As a bushfire continues to burn in one of Australia's most important biospheres, a local botanist worries native plants are not rejuvenating from historic blazes and says more research is required into the impacts of all fires, including prescribed burns.
Dr Craig said a patch of "iconic" hakea plants had greatly diminished after bushfires in 1989 and 2003."When I went back a couple of years ago they were still there and looking beautiful, but probably only a third as many [as] when I first went up in the 80s." "We just need to monitor what happens after these fires, prescribed burns and wild fires, to see if there's a pattern, and work out how long it takes different species to regenerate," she said.
