Abstract
Organic soils (peats) in areas of southwestern Tasmania have been degraded by fire and subsequent erosive

A high fire frequency is likely to lead to increased peat loss, a decrease in height and cover of vegetation and ultimately to areas denuded of peat. Implications for land management are discussed,
