Can you please describe what is meant by
“Embed hydrological restoration and soil carbon rebuilding within bushfire resilience
frameworks”
Hi Sue it is important when planning for bushfire resilience that we consider the movement of water across the landscape and aim to increase penetration and retention of moisture plus increasing the soil carbon. These two factors have the potential to ameliorate the severity and spread of fire. I hope that is helpful. Cheers FOBIF
