🌱 1/3: Recap before 2 new #sUnderfoot papers 🔔 last year we proposed six Belowground Persistence Types (BPTs) to predict disturbance responses, led by @jitkaklimesova.bsky.social 💐 @cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/plant...

Dichotomous key for determination of belowground persistence types is based on three hierarchical questions: Is the plant woody? Is the plant clonal? Is the plant a resprouter?

What happens when you have a prescribed fire at the end of the dry season, fire of high severity with T>700ºC? The Cerrado blooms! 45 days post-fire and a high proportion of the spp flowering and fruiting. Isn’t that amazing? #Cerrado #FireEcology @leveg.bsky.social @programabiota.bsky.social

The Cerrado is really amazing! Post-fire flowering is one of the most interesting and beautiful fire response! It is not a response of a specific species or family! Bulbostylis paradoxa never fails and can be seen flowering already 18 hs after fire! @leveg.bsky.social @programabiota.bsky.social

Bulbostylis paradoxa flowering 24 hs afrer fire

We just did the 153th burn since 2013 in our plots! In each burn we measured different fire parameters like fire intensity, fuel load, fire temperature, etc. Thanks to all students, local people and the fire brigade who helped in all experimental fires! @leveg.bsky.social @programabiota.bsky.social

During the event, @manumachadoeco.bsky.social and I organised a symposium about Cerrado fire ecology and conservation (see thread):

Yesterday the BRIVAC, a volunteer fire brigade, did a prescribed fire during the II Seminário Regional do Manejo Integrado do Fogo. In Brazil, local volunteers are essential for the success of fire management, including during wildfires. Bravo BRIVAC!

Burning for the 7th time our early-dry season fire plots. We have established the fire experiment in 2013 with 5 treatments related to fire frequency and season. At each fire, we sample fire parameters. Twice a year, we sample vegetation and biomass.
