Abstract Disturbance plays an important role in determining whether forests are carbon sinks or sources. Logging and wildfire are common widespread disturbances known to significantly reduce carbon stocks in carbon rich forests, such as, the tall forests of south-eastern Australia. Most tall forests in south-eastern Australia are dominated by globally unique resprouting Eucalypts that experience limited mortality after high severity wildfire. However, the most carbon dense forests in the region are dominated by non-resprouting Eucalypts that, like many other species associated with carbon den...

Abstract Recent logging and wildfire have been linked to increased fire severity in forests around the world. The mechanisms driving this association are uncertain but increased vertical fuel connectivity in recently disturbed forests is often suggested as a possible cause. These suggestions often assume that the forest canopy is lost after logging and wildfire. However, the resprouting Eucalypt forests of south-eastern Australia may differ as the canopy can rapidly recover after wildfire, and some of the canopy is retained after logging to reflect this ecology. By contrast, stand replacement...

Abstract Our recent article on the comparative effects of logging and wildfire on carbon stocks in forests with contrasting responses to fire (Wilson et al., 2021) elicited a commentary from Jurskis (2021). While speculating widely about the nature of forests in our study and their management, Jurskis (2021) attempts to cast doubt on our finding that logging affected above ground carbon stocks. Our results showed that Eucalypt forests have substantially lower above ground carbon stocks in recently logged sites, compared to sites logged approximately 80 years ago. Further, none of the sites we...

SA's water saving efforts boosted as felled gum trees are sold to Australia 15 April 2021 - 12:12 Felled gum trees along the Breede River will assist with efforts to save water in the Western Cape. Image: Supplied The felling of huge eucalyptus trees has been hailed as the least expensive and most effective way to avoid a water “day zero” in and around Cape Town. The mid-Breede River project to remove alien invasive plants along 25km of the river frontage near Bonnievale aims to return seven million litres of water per hectare cleared, per year, to the river s...

Look, this isn't my first rodeo and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan, like any other. big difference is how you pay it back. find out how reverse mortgages really work with aag's free,
