Our forest plots in Estação Ecol Serra Araras burned by the 2024 wildfires. They look ‘messy’, but not degraded. They are in an early recovery stage: their canopy cover is dominated by palm Attalea speciosa and understorey with great diversity of herbs and shrubs #Resilience #Recovery
Learning so much about grasses flammability in our CerFogo long-term experimental site, Brasil. This one only burned a part of the plant despite having being ignited in the base, another burnrd totally except its trichomes (leaves hairs)…
This is beyond bad news for fire science worldwide. Some of these stations pioneered both fundamental and applied fire science.

Check out the early view of my second PhD article! Focusing on woody productivity dynamics of Cerrado savanna trees, we analyse how NPP changes across different fire regimes, and explore how these responses are mediated by functional traits 🔥🌿 @ioliverasmenor.bsky.social

Patagonian wildfires show how denying climate change & pushing environmental destruction make the reality of climate change much worse. Threatening the destruction of trees that have been alive when the bronze age collapsed. @wwattribution.bsky.social www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...
