 The Myth of Fuel Reduction: Associate Professor Phil Zylstra on the Just Ecology podcast: 
 

"...Phil has investigated some really fundamental questions about how fire actually behaves in Australian forests and how vegetation changes following fire. He's developed sophisticated fire-behaviour models that look beyond simply how much fuel is present, to consider things like the species involved, plant traits, vegetation structure and how those characteristics influence whether and how a fire spreads."
