Life will never be the same. the areas of grey forest visible in the distance are dead. a crown fire under a 90km wind burnt through and there has been widespread mortality. eucalypts don't have dormant seeds so because of the sheer scale, it is highly unlikely eucalypts will be regenerating or germinating where whole mountainsides are dead below us, so that is effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo island's story since the fires is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery. separated from the mainland 10,000 years ago, it liesjust off the coast of south australia and is the country's thi...

Experienced on this continent. here on its burnt edges, life will never be the same. the areas of grey forest visible in the distance are dead. a crown fire under a 90 kilometre wind burnt through and there has been widespread mortality. eucalyptus don't have dormant seeds. so because of the sheer scale it is highly unlikely that eucalyptus will be regenerating or germinating where whole mountainsides are dead below it. so that is effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo island's story since the fires is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery. separated from the mainland

So that's effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo island's story since the fires is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery. separated from the mainland 10,000 years ago, it lies just off the coast of south australia, and it's the country's third largest island. scientists say the interaction between plants and animals here provides a biological window into the past, a kind of noah's ark of australian wildlife. but with the island's iron rich soils a magnet for lightning, the cataclysmic events of australia's black summer conspired against it. almost half the island — around 200,000 he...

Eucalyptus don't have dormant seeds. so because of the sheer scale it is highly unlikely that eucalyptus will be regenerating or germinating where whole mountainsides are dead below it. so that is effectively ecosystem collapse. kangaroo island's story since the fires is one of extraordinary resilience and recovery. separated from the mainland 10,000 years ago, it lies at the coast of sa, and is the country's third largest island. scientists say the interaction between plants and animals here provides a biological window into the past, a kind of noah's ark of australian wildlife.
