"By criminalizing fire, Spanish authorities effectively criminalized forms of #IndigenousKnowledge—like the cultivation of certain plants and management of #ecosystems—that relied on #controlledBurning. This put #Indigenous people in an impossible situation. Those who persisted with burning risked arrest and forced labor."

"The mid-twentieth-century dream that #LosAngeles is America’s Eden, celebrated by Reyner Banham as he tooled around its freeways, has been superseded by the dark reality envisioned by Mike Davis, who foretold with uncanny accuracy what the other side of paradise would be like."

MEP webinar with journalist/scholar Dennis Broe

#LosAngeles is Burning

"[I]n the spirit of Mike Davis, Broe will take us deep into #LA's geology, #ecology, neoliberal politics, and the sedimented #inequalities of class and race."

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

Left: #grassland (#steppe) #postfire with #Stipa tenacissima & #Anthyllis cytisoides (both #resprouting postfire)
Right: dead Stipa tenacissima

Other times, the #fire is not that intense and the degree of consumption is much lower. In fact the degree of consumption of #Carob #trees could be used as an indicator of the fire #severity

The #stump of #Carob trees (#Ceratonia siliqua) #burns so easily that the #fire often consume it and move through the #roots, leaving holes in the floor. #Azuebar #wildfire (2021), E #Spain

The #seedlings of #carob tree (#Ceratonia siliqua) I saw 1 months after #fire (top left) are growing well & healthy 15 month later (top right). They survived the 1st summer, so they are quite save now.
Is not that common to see #postfire #recruitment of this species

Of course, they are many other species recruiting, including pines (P halepensis; bottom left) & some shrubs (Cistaceae, Ules ...; bottom right); 16 month postfire

The is a great #diversity of #fire regimes across the western Palearctic: Europe, North Africa & the Near East! For fire regime we considered area burnt, fire size, intensity, season, patchiness, pyrodiversity.

This all means I love to study and understand all the #interactions within and between species 🐨🦘🦉🦅🐍🐸🪲🦇🐀🐢🐬🐋🐳🦭🐟🦀🐞🐝🐜🐛🦋🐌🦗🕷🌺🌸🌻🌼🌳🌲🌾🌿 and with their #environment 🌏☀️🌡💧🔥🌧🌩 my favourite topics are #populationecology from colonies/cells to #evolution #coevolution #evolution #genetics #fireecology #diseasemanagement #threatmanagement #reproductiveecology #demographics #climatechange #climateaction #adaptation #plasticity all the things that determine whether a species will persist or become #extinct

I support #FirstNations People and 💖 working on Country with #TraditionalOwners #sharingknowledge 🖤❤💛

I have two Jug #dogs Eli and Miss Angie - Jack Russell x Pug 🥰💕 At the moment we are #floodrefugees living in a camper-trailer in Northern NSW.
