Grassfirespresents the latest information from CSIRO on the behavior and spread of fires in grasslands. This second edition follows ten years of research aimed at improving the understanding of fundamental processes involved in the behavior of bushfires and grassfires. The book has been extensively revised and new case studies have been added to reflect the latest findings in research and investigations. The book covers all aspects of fire behavior and spread in the major types of grasses in Australia. It examines the factors that affect fire behavior in continuous grassy fuels; fire in spinifex fuels; the effect of weather and topography on fire spread; wildfire suppression strategies; and how to reconstruct grassfire spread after the fact. The three fire-spread meters designed by CSIRO and used for the prediction of fire danger and rate of spread of grassfires are explained and their use and limitations discussed. This new edition expands on the historical view of grassfires with respect to extensive Aboriginal burning, combustion chemistry, flame structure and temperature, spotting and spread in discontinuous/eaten out fuels, and the effect of wind in complex terrain. The case studies in the chapter "Wildfires and Their Suppression" have been updated and include the major wild grassfire events of recent years, the January 2003 ACT fires and the 2005 Wangary, SA fire. The "Myths, Facts and Fallacies" chapter includes new myths and a new section on personal safety during a wild grass fire. Of interest to all rural fire fighters and rural landholders, students and teachers of courses on landscape and ecological processes, rural and peri-urban dwellers, fire authorities and researchers.

Grasslands and other types of grass dominant ecosystems account for the majority of global fire events. Under climate change towards less humid and extended hot and dry periods, vulnerability of grass dominated ecosystems to a fire is projected to increase. Fire behavior is one of the key factors for understanding fire patterns and effects. This small-scale grass-fire experiment sought to explain how fire behavior properties of two bunchgrass species respond to increase in fuel density and composition. Although the results confirmed that higher fuel load and increased percentage of cheatgrass abundance leads to the increase in total mass consumption, rate of consumption and flame length, the relation with the decrease in the burning time is less defined. The burning properties of Idaho fescue were less influenced by increase in cheatgrass presence. These results highlight that changing fire behavior due to the increase in cheatgrass abundance is species specific and that more research is needed to understand the dynamics of both cheatgrass and other invasive species on fire behavior in grass dominated ecosystems.
