Spiny Rice Flower mosaic burn

How would the local population of Pimelia spinicens – Spiny rice flower respond to burning? The wet weather has contributed to a large increase in vegetation growth at the site and a trial of burning has been discussed over the past year.

With the assistance of Wedderburn CFA a small mosaic burn was conducted at the roadside site of the plants. Unfortunately, wet weather has not only increased the amount of biomass around the plants, but made the unused road site too soft to take vehicles on. An alternate site to burn was planned, and with good conditions the burn took place on 17 November.

Still green vegetation resulted in a partially successful burn of one small area approximately 4m X 4m. Photopoint monitoring has been commenced at the site.
