How does drought and fire shape our forests today?

Join Tina Bell and Sebastien Pfautsch as they discuss how climate change is predicted to increase the severity and frequency of these disturbances. Understanding their effects and being able to predict their outcomes is important for managing our natural resources.

Sebastien Pfautsch also works at the University of Sydney where he is a Senior Researcher of tree physiology and forest management.
