Post-fire experimental trials of vegetation restoration techniques in the peatlands of Namadgi (ACT) and Kosciuszko National Parks (NSW), Australia

In January 2003, wildfires, ignited by lightning strikes, burnt approximately 2.1 million ha in the ACT, NSW and Victoria. These wildfires burnt a high proportion of subalpine peatlands, (both Sphagnum-shrub bog and sedge fens) across the Snowy Mountains, in New South Wales and in the Brindabella Ra...

Zusammenfassung:	In January 2003, wildfires, ignited by lightning strikes, burnt approximately 2.1 million ha in the ACT, NSW and Victoria. These wildfires burnt a high proportion of subalpine peatlands, (both Sphagnum-shrub bog and sedge fens) across the Snowy Mountains, in New South Wales and in the Brindabella Ranges, in the ACT. These communities are widely distributed and cover about 5500 ha in the alpine and subalpine zones of Kosciuszko National Park, but are of limited area and occurrence in Namadgi National Park, where they total 320 ha. The bogs and fens occur above approximately 1000 m altitude at the heads of
