By March 2020 the Black Summer fires burnt an unprecedented 7 million hectares. A number of mega-fires occurred in NSW resulting in more burned area than in any fire season on record.<\/p>\n<p>To understand the devastating synergic effects of drought stress and wildfire in forests, I am going to study tree mortality, recovery and recruitment in areas that wildfire meets extreme drought in south-eastern of Australia. I will be analysing existing data and undertaking field work in forest burnt in the Black Summer fires. I started my project in 2021 and I aim to finish it by 2025.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f6fe231\" data-id=\"f6fe231\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-718bc13 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"718bc13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"880\" src=\"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20200304_140000.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-442\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20200304_140000.jpg 660w, https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20200304_140000-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tree mortality and forest recovery following unprecedented drought and bushfires PhD Project: PhD Candidate&nbsp;Simin Rahmani Funding period: 2021-2025 Funding agency: This PhD project is funded by a Hermon Slade grant, a WSU PhD scholarship and a scholarship from The International Association of Wildland Fire (IAWF) I was awarded Supervisors: Dr. Rachael Nolan (HIE) and co-supervisors&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/tree-mortality\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Tree mortality and forest recovery following unprecedented drought and bushfires<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/template-pagebuilder-full-width.php","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"off","neve_meta_content_width":100,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","neve_meta_reading_time":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-177","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177"}],"version-history":[{"count":74,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4289,"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/177\/revisions\/4289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bushfire.hieresearch.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
