Abstract
Fire management is a significant factor in the management of the endangered Black-throated Finch (Poephila cincta cincta). Patchy burning soon after wet season rain in Townsville woodlands was found to promote the diversity of grasses and herbs and their seeding, which is thought to provide significant habitat benefits for Black-throated Finches.
