🚨 Key takeaway: A single fire can limit reproduction and seed quality for years, highlighting the importance of longer fire-free intervals to allow canopy recovery and healthy seed production. (9/9)

Planetary EcologistPhytobiome (Biomes 🌍)
A phytobiome consists of a plant situated in its specific ecological area, including its environment and the associated communities of organisms which inhabit it. These organisms include all macro- and micro-organisms living in, on, or around the plant including bacteria, archaea, fungi, protists, insects, animals, and other plants. The environment includes the soil,...

Hazel-Quercus 🟡⚪🟣⚫So I'm in the process of working on most comprehensive plant ecology project I've ever done - I'm about 800 hours in - and a small part of it is compiling a photo collection of all the plants in my region. There's upwards of 100 carex (sedge) species and I've only every known most of them (vaguely) by name. I can't tell you how amazing it is seeing some of these plants for the first time, like knowing someone over the internet for for ten years and then finally meeting them in person. #Ecology #PlantEcology #NatureAppreciation
