A #drought during the critical stages of post-fire recovery could filter individuals that perform better under water stress. This could be particularly relevant for species with a narrow post-fire establishment window that depends strongly on water availability 🔥🌱

Take a look at our latest advances 👇

🔥 Fire-stimulated flowering appears to be an adaptive strategy that helps plants maximize reproductive success in fire-prone ecosystems. Fire may play a major role in shaping plant life-history evolution in Mediterranean habitats. (7/7)

Following severe wildfires, fast-growing, highly flammable invasive grasses rapidly colonize denuded landscapes, acting as combustible runways that significantly elevate the risk and severity of subsequent fires.

Invasive grasses may be turning B.C.’s burn scars into the next wildfire

As climate patterns shift toward an era of more frequent mega-fires, understanding vegetation recovery is critical for hazard prevention

I took this in Detroit, Oregon after the 2020 fires.
A washing machine melted into something unrecognizable. Soil sterilized.
This is the reality Patrick Moore waves away in Chapter 9 of his anti–climate change book.

Really enjoyed this study from Ruby Paroissien at UNSW and the Australian Plantbank, looking at seed dispersal in the wet sclerophyll forests of SE Aus following the 2019/20 disaster fire season.

They found that post-fire seed dispersal from rainforest species was almost entirely absent 😟 hugely concerning when we have begun to see some of our oldest rainforests burn.

A highlight of the paper is Ruby's hand-drawn seed illustrations!
