Attended my first prescribed #burn a couple weeks ago. A small project: 20 acres of oak-grassland #savanna at an #openspace reserve. It took two days to complete, under very warm conditions. Wonderful folks: local FD, city open space staff, county staff, and volunteers. Rx burn season is closing. Looking forward to more training. #fire #fireecology #California

I wonder whether more wide-spread application of prescribed #fire onto #California #landscapes would help manage tick populations. #CulturalFire practices in the eastern US in part served this purpose, in addition to fostering #habitat for game. #FireEcology #PrescribedFire #Ecology #Indigenous

🌍This has big implications for Mediterranean ecosystems worldwide. As climate shifts, the when of drought during post-fire recovery could determine which plants survive, and ultimately reshape entire plant communities for the following years. (6/6)

🎉 Great news! The paper ‘Drought during a key post-fire stage for recovery success filters plants with enhanced fitness under water stress in a Mediterranean obligate seeder’ in @AnnBot by @DavidSD & Victor Santana is now #free for 2 weeks 🧵(1/6)

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 🔥🌱

Productive #paleofire workshop at #PennState last week - coincidentally closed with a prescribed burn near the campus in State College, PA 🔥
Many thanks to Sarah Ivory for invitation and the great organization! #RxFire #FireEcology #PalaeOpen

🔥 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
