Figure 1.

(A) shows field sites (white boxes) where the fire-sensitive conifer, Callitris intratropica, was surveyed in Arnhem Land and Kakadu National Park, while (B) illustrates Callitris grove formation, in which closed-canopy patches suppress graminoid fuels, exclude low-intensity savanna fires, and maintain small-scale (i.e., <0.5 ha) fire refugia for conspecific recruitment and a distinct shrub community (Trauernicht et al. 2013).
