Testing the #flammability of reindeer #lichens (#Cladonia cf rangiferina) in the field! In the #boreal #forest of #Sweden. A nice #fireUrisk field trip; thank you #RISE Fire Research

A nice film on #fire #management in Western US & relevant to other regions. To what extent #fuel management is a solution? The importance of #embers, house #flammability & #indigenous knowledge

North Africa's #forests on fire! In a sense, we "forecasted" this in 2007 in our study for the "Stratégie nationale d'adaptation de l'agriculture tunisienne et des écosystèmes aux changements climatiques." "Under climate forcing, rising temperatures will increase the #flammability of #fuels and consequently the risk of #forestfires". Even if it’s written in #French it’s still worth to be read!#climatechange #Tunisia, #wildfires #geography #climatecrisis

It is early May and many landscapes in eastern Spain are ready to #burn ... as it was summer

Many non-resprouter species are pretty dry, with dead biomass (eg #Ulex parviflorus dominant in the pictures below); they cannot avoid #dehydratation as #resprouters do (https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.13644)
