Abstract
The vegetation of the Territory in the area of annual or frequent burning appears well suited to regular burning, and is probably dependent upon fire for its maintenance. The vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas is more fire-sensitive. The interval between fires in these areas may be considerable because unusually heavy rainfalls are required to produce enough grass to carry a fire. Fires rarely occur in the small areas of monsoon forest.Keywords
