个人简介
Professor Dixon has had the pleasure of working with colleagues and making discoveries that have transformed the horticultural and mining restoration industries, biodiversity conservation and restoration of damaged landscapes. In 1992, he discovered smoke as the component in bushfires that triggers the germination of Australian plants. This discovery transformed many aspects of Australian restoration and conservation practice: from how we conserve rare species in seed banks, to minesite restoration (including the world-acclaimed restoration success of the Alcoa bauxite mines in southwest WA). Few other single ecological findings have had such a profound impact across so many aspects of Australian ecology.
Coordinating with colleagues in the US, UK and Europe, he demonstrated the same smoke germination response elsewhere. This established that the action of smoke was independent of whether species were from fire-prone ecosystems – taking the discovery more broadly into many aspects of plant production in horticulture, conservation of rare species and restoration. Smoke water is now marketed internationally based on his work, with uses ranging from restoring olive grove diversity in Spain, prairie restoration, to rehabilitating heather in Scotland.
