📰 Megafire Could Not Kill the Fungi 🔥
🌎 Mojave Desert: The 2020 Dome Fire wiped out a million Eastern Joshua Trees, leaving a haunting landscape of charred trunks.
🍄 But underground? The mycorrhizal fungi community held strong, diverse, abundant, and even joined by fire‑loving specialists.
🌱 This resilience means restoration efforts don’t need costly soil amendments. The fungal partners are still there, ready to help new seedlings if they can survive drought and herbivores.
💪 Even in extreme disturbance, fungal networks endure, quietly anchoring ecosystem recovery.

RE: https://botany.social/@AnnBot/116618598941198902
A #drought during the critical stages of post-fire recovery could filter individuals that perform better under water stress. This could be particularly relevant for species with a narrow post-fire establishment window that depends strongly on water availability 🔥🌱

Following severe wildfires, fast-growing, highly flammable invasive grasses rapidly colonize denuded landscapes, acting as combustible runways that significantly elevate the risk and severity of subsequent fires.

I took this in Detroit, Oregon after the 2020 fires.
A washing machine melted into something unrecognizable. Soil sterilized.
This is the reality Patrick Moore waves away in Chapter 9 of his anti–climate change book.Read my full rebuttal:

Really enjoyed this study from Ruby Paroissien at UNSW and the Australian Plantbank, looking at seed dispersal in the wet sclerophyll forests of SE Aus following the 2019/20 disaster fire season.
They found that post-fire seed dispersal from rainforest species was almost entirely absent 😟 hugely concerning when we have begun to see some of our oldest rainforests burn.
A highlight of the paper is Ruby's hand-drawn seed illustrations!

For anyone interested in #ecology, specifically #FireEcology, here is a little #simulation I created several years ago...
https://richard.mdpaths.com/projects/fire_ecology/index.html
It is also a good example of using a #hexagonal grid on a #web page.

Nearly three-quarters of western US overdue for #wildfires
For a decade, nearly four million hectares per year would need to burn just to catch up -

#FrançoisPimont, #écologue : « Stopper les incendies dans les premières minutes sera de plus en plus difficile à l’avenir, avec des feux plus nombreux et plus rapides »
Dans un entretien au « #LeMonde », l’ingénieur de recherche à l’Institut national de recherche pour l’agriculture, l’alimentation et l’environnement estime que les incendies pourraient doubler voire tripler en France avec un réchauffement de 4 °C. #feuxdeforets #forestfire #wildfire #rechauffementclimatique #changementsclimatiques #climatechange #fireecology #firemodelling
