The links between tropical rainforest Aboriginal firing and/or climate in the maintenance of
species biodiversity in the north Queensland wet tropics bioregion is not well understood. The
seminar will discuss preliminary work on the identification and dating of wood charcoal from soil
pits that challenges the received view that many fire events date to the LGM, that most charcoal is
eucalypt and that fire is rare in established rainforests.
