REVIEW: Refuges for fauna in fire‐prone landscapes: their ecological function and importance (2013, background): “an increased extent and decreased patchiness of fires (Miller et al. 2010).”
Guidelines for the application of IUCN Red List of Ecosystems categories and criteria (2015, background): “Invasion of arid Australian shrublands and grasslands by Buffel Grass makes them more fire prone and less favourable for persistence of native plant species (Clarke et al., 2005; Miller et al., 2010).”
The human dimension of fire regimes on Earth (2011, background): “Miller et al. (2005) suggest that sustained Aboriginal burning triggered ‘ecosystem collapse’ by degrading habitats, in contrast to the suggestion that over-hunting of large herbivores caused increased fuel build-up and thus subsequent changes to fire regimes (Flannery, 1994).”
