Quasi steady state litter levels were compared on sites unburnt for 20 years, and at various times since low-intensity burning for fuel reduction. Models of accumulation after burning suggest that it is needed every 3 to 5 years to maintain fire control; this may be undesirable for ecological reasons in some areas.
