Unlike Australia’s temperate ecosystems, the tropical savanna landscapes are in relatively unmodified condition (Woinarski et al., 2007). Disturbances such as fire, logging/thinning, cycles of drought and rainfall excess, and grazing occur within these landscapes and can be both temporally and spatially variable, increasing landscape heterogeneity but rarely resulting in well-defined patch boundaries (Pearson, 2002; Woinarski et al., 2005). Instead, the tree-grass structure varies continuously at local to landscape-scales (100s-1000s ha). ...
