A month after the #bloom of #Narcissus assoanus (previous post), it is now time for the bloom of #Phlomis lychnitis

8 months #postfire #IFCostur Castelló, Spain

Each species has its own phenology ...

There is now abundant postfire flowering in the understory of this burnt forest.

In #Spain it is not very common to have #fires of >1000 ha at 1500-1900 m altitude. An example from last summer is the fire at Boca-de-Huergano (#Riaño, #León). Much of the fire affected a young plantation of #Pinus #uncinata (not native to the area; not sure why it was planted!) and #Betula. Betula individuals are now #resprouting.

The 1st researchers that had an #evolutionary view of #fire were probably EB Poulton (when looking at fire beetles 1915) & WL Jepson (studying #Arctostaphylos 1922)

1) Do you know of any other earlier?
2) Do you know of any woman with such view earlier than 1970?

Afternoon jaunt to High Park to flip some logs and poke around in the patch of black oak savannah between the High Park Ave. entrance and the streetcar loop.

Only fragments of this rare ecosystem now exist in Canada, and High Park is one of its last refuges. Oak savannah depends on regular small, low-intensity fires to thin out the undergrowth—an Indigenous practice suppressed for centuries by Europeans and only relatively recently incorporated into mainstream forest management. Nearly every year City staff carry out a prescribed burn in this area, and you can see traces of it in the landscape.

A bit more info, with links to past news articles and so on: https://highparknature.org/article/prescribed-burns-in-high-park/

Hi, I'm a scientist who studies #FireEcology, #DisturbanceEcology, and #ForestEcology. I also study and make projections about #GlobalChange. I have a paper that will be published next week in #GCB that I'm excited to share.

Posts my poster presentation and my reality star sister on reddit cause I was bored and folks kept not believing she was my sister. Become one of the top posts of the day. For sure my ggplots and fire ecology. #scicomm #fireecology #invasivespecies #areyoutheone

Good analysis of the unprecedented damage to #wetlands and #mangroves during the 2019-20 Black Summer #megafires #fireecology https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/emr.12572

Congratulations Byron!

Awarded by the Association for
Fire Ecology for his great contribution to this topic during his career. Even now that he is retired, his productivity & creativity is still very high. A tireless researcher. Very well deserved award.

"While reviewing the literature on #fire-released #seed #dormancy (https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12855) we became aware of limitations and disparities in current terminology ..." - Byron Lamont

So I helped Byron to make some clarification!

Intraspecific variability of #serotiny in #Pinus banksiana

Rear-edge populations (with low #fire frequency) are less serotinous & more variably than range-core #fireprone pops where serotiny is more uniformly high, by Pelletier et al
https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2745.14041 #JEcol

That is, results for Pinus banksiana (boreal) are quite similar to those for P. halepensis & P. pinaster (mediterranean species).

Estimating the age of #mediterranean #pines & their #cones is tricky, as they often produce more than 1 whorl per year!

Pic: #Pinus halepensis. From the bottom upwards: 🔵arrows: 1st whorl of a growing season;🔴&🟢arrows: 2nd & 3rd whorl of the same year. Note the #serotinous #cones in the left pic.

#Stipa tenacissima (#esparto grass) #resprouts very well after #fire; I wonder why there are a few individuals that fail to resprout (fire in 2021)

#fireecology #steppe @wildfirescience

How nice it would be to know the species in these plants that failed to #resprout #postfire!!
This could be a non-resprouter, but also a (weak) resprouter that failed due to the high intensity of the #fire
