The influence of fine-scale topography on the impacts of Holocene fire in a Tasmanian montane landscape (2019)
Journal Article
Cadd, H., Fletcher, M., 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., …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...

Journal Article
Mariani, M., Tibby, J., Barr, C., Moss, P., Marshall, J. C., & McGregor, G. B. (2019). Reduced rainfall drives biomass limitation of long‐term fire activity in Australia’s subtropical sclerophyll forests. Journal of Biogeography, 46(9), 1974-1987. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13628

Aim To understand the long?term drivers of biomass burning in the sclerophyll?dominated forests of Australia. Location Swallow Lagoon, North Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia. Time period Last ca. 8 kyr. Major taxa studied Eucalyptus se... Read More about Reduced rainfall drives biomass limitation of long‐term fire activity in Australia’s subtropical sclerophyll forests.

Climate change reduces resilience to fire in subalpine rainforests (2019)
Journal Article
Mariani, M., Fletcher, M., 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...
