Implications of the 2019–2020 megafires for the biogeography and conservation of Australian vegetation

Implications of the 2019–2020 megafires for the biogeography and conservation of Australian vegetation

Fires triggered by climate change threaten plant diversity in many biomes. Here the authors investigate how the catastrophic fires of 2019–2020 affected the vascular flora of SE Australia. They report that 816 species were highly impacted, including taxa of biogeographic and conservation interest.
