We are in autumn but this is not a deciduous #forest, but a forest that burned with low intensity (leaves not consumed): the Bejis #fire (August, eastern Spain)
We confirm that this fire affected some populations of #Taxus baccata (#yew), a species quite sensitive to fires, & rare & in regression in most #Spain. Because of the low intensity, some may survive (but we'll see).
New climate, new fire regimes ...
