"An integrated approach to assessing abiotic and biotic threats to post" by Rachael V. Gallagher, Stuart P. Allen et al.
Aim: Existing abiotic and biotic threats to plant species (e.g., disease, drought, invasive species) affect their capacity to recover post-fire. We use a new, globally applicable framework to assess the vulnerability of 26,062 Australian plant species to a suite of active threats after the 2019–2020 fires. Location: Australia. Time period: 2019–2020. Major species studied: Plants. Methods: Spatial data for existing threats and information on species-level susceptibility were combined with estimates of the extent of range burnt in southern Australia (> 22°S) to assign species against 10...
