Bushfire and Climate Change: A Causal Link

A mechanism for bushfire mitigation based on a multi-disciplined and holistic approach, has suggested that the reduced water storage affect of ground moisture content provides a plausible explanation for the increased bushfire activity world wide, resulting from increased droughts driven by climate change.
Under normal weather conditions, prior to the advent of severe climate change, the ground water stored over the wet period, has in the past, generally been sufficient to provide protection...
