Overview
The Mallee Fire & Biodiversity Project is a large, four-year collaborative project which commenced in March 2006. It is jointly led by Associate Professor Mike Clarke (La Trobe University) and Professor Andrew Bennett (Deakin University). The project aims to identify the properties of habitat mosaics produced by fire that enhance the persistence and status of a broad range of taxonomic groups (birds, mammals, reptiles, key invertebrates and plants) in eucalypt-dominated mallee habitats across three states (VIC, SA, NSW). Seven PhD students are researching the respective taxonomic groups.
