🔥🌱From the upcoming #AJB Special Issue: Understanding novel #fire regimes using plant trait‐based approaches🌱🔥 Moisture loss rate drives the species-specific sensitivity of shoot flammability to water status By @azajmahmud.bsky.social , Nursema Aktepe, @schwilk.org ilk.org‬doi.org/10.1002/ajb2...52
Relationship between water status and shoot flammability. (A) The relationship between water potential and ignition delay time (s) across species (F1, 159 = 79.35, P < 0.001). (B) Relationship between LFMC and ignition delay time (s) across species (F1, 159 = 21.03, P < 0.001). (C) Relationship between water potential and heat release (kJ) across species (F1, 159 = 54.94, P < 0.001). (D) Relationship between LFMC and heat release (kJ) across species (F1, 159 = 105.1, P < 0.001). The lines indicate the trend of the response of ignition delay time (s) and heat release (kJ) to changing water status across species from the ANCOVA models.

🔥🌱 From the upcoming #AJB Special Issue: “Understanding novel #fire regimes using plant trait‐based approaches" 🌱🔥 From plant traits to fire behavior: Scaling issues in flammability studies By Dylan Schwilk, Md. Azharul Alam, Nathan Gill et al. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany #plantscience
 Illustration of methods used to assessed fuel characteristics (moisture, architecture, chemistry and mass) across a range of scales from individual plant organs or excised parts to communities and landscapes. Remote sensing, field measurements, and laboratory work are each suited to assessment of fuel characteristics at different but overlapping portions of this range, thereby creating opportunities to synthesize the “top-down” and “bottom-up” approaches to understanding flammability.
