Using pollen and charcoal analysis we examined how vegetation and fire regimes have changed over the last 600 years in the Midlands of Tasmania. Sediment cores from seven lagoons were sampled, with a chronology developed at one site (Diprose Lagoon) using 210Pb and 14C dating. Statistical contrasts of six cores where Pinus served as a marker of European settlement in the early 19th Century and showed significant changes in pollen composition following settlement with (a) influx of ruderal…

Long-term environmental change in eastern Tasmania: Vegetation, climate and fire at Stoney Lagoon

Tasmania’s dry, inland east is ideally positioned to inform models of late Quaternary environmental change in southern Australasia. Despite this, it remains poorly represented in the palaeoecological…

European Impacts on Coastal Eastern Tasmania: Insight from a High-Resolution Palynological Analysis of a Salt-Marsh Core

A high-resolution pollen and micro-charcoal (>5 μm) record has been produced from a short sediment (50 cm) core recovered from a salt marsh in the Little Swanport Estuary, eastern Tasmania. This…

On centennial to millennial timescales fire regimes are driven by climate changes, vegetation composition, and human activities. In this study, I reconstructed the vegetation and fire history of…

Demographic Effects of Severe Fire in Montane Shrubland on Tasmania’s Central Plateau

Australian montane sclerophyll shrubland vegetation is widely considered to be resilient to infrequent severe fire, but this may not be the case in Tasmania. Here, we report on the vegetative and…

Ecosystem transformation following the mid-nineteenth century cessation of Aboriginal fire management in Cape Pillar, Tasmania

Ongoing European suppression of Aboriginal cultural land management since early-nineteenth century colonisation is widely thought to have caused major transformations across all Australian…

A framework for testing the influence of Aboriginal burning on grassy ecosystems in lowland, mesic south–eastern Australia

A framework to test for the ‘fingerprint’ of Aboriginal burning in lowland, mesic grassy ecosystems of south-eastern Australia indicated that widespread Aboriginal burning for staple foods likely extended the area of temperate grasslands and influenced their structure and function.

The legacy of pasture improvement causes recruitment failure in grassy eucalypt woodland conservation reserves in the Midlands of Tasmania

This study compared the demographic structures of overstorey Eucalyptus species and midstorey tree genera on public and private properties with contrasting land use histories to restore ecological structure and function in grassy woodland conservation reserves on private land.

A framework for testing the in fl uence of Aboriginal burning on grassy ecosystems in lowland , mesic south – eastern Australia

The complex interactions among climate, soils, fire and humans in the biogeography of natural grasslands has long been debated in Australia. On the one hand, ecological models assume the primacy of…

The loss of an indigenous constructed landscape following British invasion of Australia: An insight into the deep human imprint on the Australian landscape

This research provides empirical evidence to challenge the long-standing portrayal of Indigenous Australians as low-impact ‘hunter-gatherers’ and highlights the relevance and critical value of Indigenous fire management in this era of heightened bushfire risk and biodiversity loss.

Using historical records, aerial photography and dendroecological methods to determine vegetation changes in a grassy woodland since European settlement

Effects of high‐severity fire drove the population collapse of the subalpine Tasmanian endemic conifer Athrotaxis cupressoides

The data indicate that the 1960 fires were of greater severity than previous fires, herbivory by native marsupials may limit seedling survival in both burned and unburned A. cupressoides stands, and the loss of populations is largely irreversible given the relatively high fuel loads of postfire vegetation communities that are dominated by resprouting shrubs.
