Finally a good reason to make my first bluesky post. Our new paper describes the pyro-thermal niche - a way to qualify how seeds respond to fire type temperatures. The metrics that comprise the pyro-thermal niche are influenced by phylogeny! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Defining the pyro‐thermal niche: do seed traits, ecosystem type and phylogeny influence thermal thresholds in seeds with physical dormancy? Seeds are a key pathway for plant population recovery following disturbance. To prevent germination during unsuitable conditions, most species produce dormant seeds. In fire-prone regions, physical ..... https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.70061
