Research highlights—Feedbacks between fire severity, vegetation structure and ecosystem flammability are understudied in highly fire-tolerant forests that dominated by epicormic resprouters. We examined the relationships severity of two overlapping fires a resprouting eucalypt forest subsequent effect on fuel structure. found likelihood canopy was highest areas had previously been exposed to hi...
