Coexistence of shrubs and grass in a semi-arid landscape: a case study of mulga (Acacia aneura, Mimosaceae) shrublands embedded in fire-prone spinifex (Triodia pungens, Poaceae) hummock grasslands

Gratitude goes to the Desert Knowledge Cooperative Research Centre who funded the project as part of the ‘Desert Fire’ research program. Much appreciation goes to Peter Latz, Kasia Gabrys and Warren McCaskill for help with field work, and to Grant Allan for his assistance with fire-scar maps and their interpretation. This project was made possible through the generosity of the owners of Mt Denison Station who welcomed us on their property.
