Fire management is an important issue for landholders in mallee areas. Relationships between eucalypt litter fuel loads and fire intensity are well researched, but basic information on fuel re-accumulation after fire is lacking. We compared differences in litter bed size beneath mallee trees with increasing time since fire, and related tree dimensions to litter bed size across a short spectrum (3, 13 and >30 years) of time since fire. As expected, all tree and litter dimensions increased significantly with time since fire with the exception of litter density. ...
