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

Extremely rare tick-borne disease resurfaces in California

🌍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)

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 🔥🌱

🔥 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.
