Abstract
⺠Risk of human losses from wildfires may vary in response to rate of fuel treatment. ⺠Fuel treatment may lead to risk reduction but not elimination in many ecosystems. ⺠Simulation results show that this response applies in temperate Australian forests. ⺠Treatment effectiveness is predicted to be further diminished by climate change. ⺠Cost-effectiveness may constrain the scope of future fuel treatment programs.
