#fireecology — Public Fediverse posts

Productive #paleofire workshop at #PennState last week - coincidentally closed with a prescribed burn near the campus in State College, PA 🔥
Many thanks to Sarah Ivory for invitation and the great organization! #RxFire #FireEcology #PalaeOpen

"The loss of more than 90 per cent of #SouthernCalifornia’s agricultural buffer zone is the principal if seldom mentioned reason #wildfires increasingly incinerate such spectacular swathes of luxury real estate. [...] what makes us most vulnerable is the abruptness of what is called the ‘wildland-urban interface’, where real estate collides with #FireEcology." - #MikeDavis

"From the mixed pine and oak forest in the Klamath Mountains to the Mojave Desert, Sierra Foothills, there is not an inch of California that is not now part of this conflagration and it's true throughout the American West of course"

2 great interviews from 2018 & 2021 on KPFK with the late Angeleno essayist #MikeDavis about #urbanism, "#FireEcology," colonial capitalism & #ecocide in #California

Fire and can ‘wake up’ seeds from their domant state vai heat and/or smoke. This is an evolutionary trait in fire dominated systems that we do not see in systems that don’t have regular fire events (arid lands and rainforests for example). Humans seem to reduce fire frequency and this in turn reduces biodiversity. Pausas and Lamont 2022 https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12855 #FireEcology #SciLit
