Join us April 28 for the first in a two-part series providing an in-depth review of wildfire dynamics in savanna ecosystems. Speakers: @dramalamujer.bsky.social Dr. Abigail Croker, Dr. Sally Archibald, Amos Chege Muthiuru and Dr. Caroline Lehmann globalwildfirecollective.org/event/wildfi...

New virtual issue in AJB 🌿All Functional Trait Handbooks, from the landmark Cornelissen et al. (2003) to the latest on reproductive traits, are now collected in one place. 20+ years of protocols for measuring plant traits across species, ecosystems & continents. All free to read. 🔗 buff.ly/zXlFjQx

Really good overview of plans to help Joshua trees survive climate change, on National Geographic, with some description of a project I'd only heard rumored, which might aaaaalmost count as what we call assisted migration www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/...

Are you a community ecologist interested in fire ecology? Come join our group! Postdoc position for project FEVER, that aims to understand how fire affects biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and biogeochemical cycles in Mediterranean forests @umramap.bsky.social.

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting shrub nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Under drought, burned plants had ⬆️prob. of flowering, produced +flowers, set +seeds & heavier seeds, than unburned Saiz-Blanco et al @oikosjournal.bsky.social 🧪🌍🔥🌿🪴🌾🌱 Anthyllis

🔥 Postdoctoral Opportunity | Fire, Seeds & the Cerrado 🌱 The Laboratory of Vegetation Ecology (UNESP, Brazil) is offering a postdoc position to study how fire regimes and climate warming shape seed traits and germination in Cerrado species. 👉 Learn more: tinyurl.com/hf9yd98f #Ecology #Traits

🔥 RESEARCH 🔥 Shrub resprouting depends on pre-disturbance condition, with aridity, soil fertility & fire history as secondary drivers. Repeated disturbance reduces resprouting, & adult plants are more resilient under low water conditions - Zomer et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
