“…An alternative view is that it is not the weight of fine biomass that drives flammability, but its composition and arrangement. In this view, flammability is affected by the interaction of multiple factors including the proximity of foliar biomass to the ground, its continuity to the canopy (ladder fuels), the flammability of component plant species, and the microclimate of the forest (Cochrane 2003, Odion et al 2010, Gosper et al 2013, Kitzberger et al 2016, Zylstra et al 2016, Furlaud et al 2021, Wilson et al 2021. Foliage may act as fuel if it is within the reach of flames and therefore available for ignition, but if it is beyond the reach of flames, it may directly reduce fire severity by slowing the strength of the wind acting on a fire front (Zylstra et al 2016).…”

“…Intensive logging of eucalypt forests changes their structure to a stand dominated by regrowth, making them more vulnerable to wildfire for upwards of 50 years, thereby impacting at the regional scale (Attiwill et al 2014;Lindenmayer et al 2022aLindenmayer et al , 2022bBowman et al 2021;Zylstra et al 2021). Thus, the flammability of tall eucalypt forests changes as a stand develops from regrowth to old growth, with flammability increasing for at least several decades after intensive logging (Furlaud et al 2021). Further, intensive logging makes fires more severe and the resultant regrowth more fire sensitive (Taylor et al 2014;Wilson et al 2018;Lindenmayer et al 2011aLindenmayer et al , 2022bFurlaud et al 2021).…”

This is because logging initially redistributes flammable leaf and branch material from the canopy to ground level, increasing fuel load (see Zylstra et al 2022), makes the physical environment of these areas hotter and drier (Lindenmayer et al 2022b), and within about 10 years changes the forest to be more flammable (see Zylstra et al 2016Zylstra et al , 2021Furlaud et al 2021;Lindenmayer et al , 2022aZylstra et al 2021).…”

“…La elevada susceptibilidad de los rodales mixtos de A. araucana -N. antarctica refuerza la idea que, una vez que el bosque se quema y los arbustos se establecen, la mayor inflamabilidad promueve la persistencia del matorral (Tiribelli et al 2018;Landesmann et al 2020). Estos resultados concuerdan con antecedentes que resaltan la fuerte influencia de la recurrencia de incendios, positiva o negativa según el tipo de vegetación, y los rasgos de resistencia al fuego sobre la severidad de quema en bosques templados (e.g., Harvey et al 2016;Tepley et al 2018;Furlaud et al 2021;Cansler et al 2022).…”
