Journal Article
Cadd, H., Fletcher, M.-S., Mariani, M., Heijnis, H., & Gadd, P. S. (2019). The influence of fine-scale topography on the impacts of Holocene fire in a Tasmanian montane landscape. Journal of Quaternary Science, 34(7), 491-498. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3114

Copyright © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Tasmania's montane temperate rainforests contain some of Australia's most ancient and endemic flora. Recent landscape-scale fires have impacted a significant portion of these rainforest ecosystems. The compl...

Scientific drilling of sediments at Darwin Crater, Tasmania (2019)
Journal Article
Lisé-Pronovost, A., Fletcher, M. S., Mallett, T., Mariani, M., Lewis, R., Gadd, P. S., Herries, A. I., Blaauw, M., Heijnis, H., Hodgson, D. A., & Pedro, J. B. (2019). Scientific drilling of sediments at Darwin Crater, Tasmania. Scientific Drilling, 25, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.5194/sd-25-1-2019

A 70 m long continental sediment record was recovered at Darwin Crater in western Tasmania, Australia. The sediment succession includes a pre-lake silty sand deposit overlain by lacustrine silts that have accumulated in the ∼816 ka meteorite impact c...

Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests (2019)
Journal Article
Mariani, M., Fletcher, M.-S., Haberle, S., Chin, H., Zawadzki, A., & Jacobsen, G. (2019). Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests. Global Change Biology, 25(6), 2030-2042. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14609

Climate change is affecting the distribution of species and the functioning of ecosystems. For species that are slow growing and poorly dispersed, climate change can force a lag between the distributions of species and the geographic distributions of...
