  1. What appear to be Scots or Scotch pine cones. I don't know that I've seen them during this transition before.

    Kinda looks like corn on the cob on the cone.

  6. Plants struggled for millions of years after the world's worst climate catastrophe
    phys.org/news/2025-03-struggle

    "#conifers were some of the earliest to colonize the land after the End-#Permian catastrophe. But the recovery of #forests was not smooth sailing... even higher temperatures during the Late Smithian Thermal Maximum caused the collapse of these survivors... they were replaced by tough, shrubby #plants resembling modern #clubmosses. This scorching period lasted for about 700,000 years"

  10. "The immense blazes that roared through much of the country are, in part, due to a legacy of poor #ForestManagement. The #LoggingIndustry has long prized #conifers and has gradually reshaped the landscape with lucrative – but highly #combustible – trees. Decades of #FireSuppression, as well as a shift away from prescribed burns practiced by Indigenous communities, has left much of the forest floor littered with flammable deadfall."
