This volume presents information and research on the behaviour and spread of fires in grasslands. It introduces new meters for the prediction of fire danger and the rate of spread of grassfires and explains their use and limitations. The book covers all aspects of fire behaviour and spread in grassland fuels, including: major types of grasses in Australia; factors which affect fire behaviour in continuous grassy fuels; fires in spinifex fuels; the effect of weather and topography on fire spread; wildfires and suppression strategies; how to reconstruct grassfire spread after the fact; and myths, facts and fallacies.
