Dr Valerie Densmore (WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions) answers viewer questions that we didn't get time for during our National Fire Fuels Science webinar: the science of hazard reduction. The webinar took place on 20 May 2020. Watch the webinar at https://www.bnhcrc.com.au/firefuelswebinar/3

• 0:20 How do we compare the homogeneity of an entire landscape treated with the same hazard reduction burn treatment plan, to a landscape burnt by bushfire?
• 1:36 Is old growth vegetation of significantly higher importance to native fauna compared to young vegetation? If so, how can hazard reduction burning plan for this?
• 3:10 Should water management be considered a central element of planning when thinking of fire prevention/management?
• 4:52 How can hazard reduction burns adjust for the diminishing moisture differential associated with climate change?
• 5:42 Do you know of any research into natural fire reduction, such as fungi, invertebrates, small mammalian diggers and scratchers, and lyrebirds which are prodigious scratchers and 'compost tumblers'?
