  • CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
    Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.

    Key estuaries of the Cradle Coast region Establishing key estuaries and coastal waters for monitoring in the Cradle Coast NRM region Christine Crawford and Camille White Marine Research Laboratories – Tasmanian Aquaculture & Fisheries Institute, Nubeena Crescent, Taroona, Tasmania, 7053. Project description This is an NRM funded project being run through Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (University of Tasmania) in Hobart for a duration of approximately 12 months. This project is an extension of past and current work on environmental condition of estuaries conducted by the Estuarine Ecology group at TAFI. It builds on a similar project “Establishment of an Integrated Water Quality Monitoring Framework for Georges Bay”. We hope to implement a similar process with estuaries and coastal waters in the Cradle Coast region, aiming to involve as many stakeholders as possible including councils, community groups, industries, state government and research institutes.
