In Mediterranean ecosystems, fire-sensitive species live in rocky areas, not because they prefer them, but because they are fire refugia. Yet, sometimes fire is intense enough to get there, reducing the population size Juniperus phoenicea, E Spain #IFSegorbe 🧪🌍🔥🪴🌱🍁🌳🪴 #plantsci wildfire

Muy recomendable este artículo en contra de la interpretación sesgada de datos sobre la alta incidencia de incendios en espacios protegidos. Dicho lo cual, nos queda la pregunta: ¿Cuánto queremos admitir que ardan y por qué causas? theconversation.com/arden-mas-lo...
theconversation.com
¿Arden más los espacios protegidos? Cuando los datos no justifican el relato
Diversos estudios han alimentado la idea de que la protección de espacios naturales favorece la acumulación de vegetación y el riesgo de incendio. Pero los datos no demuestran esa relación causal.

Yes, 'El Niño-fuelled wildfires', but these wildfires are also fuelled by deforestation, land clearing, the drainage of peatlands for palm oil plantations, etc. While dry conditions exacerbate the problem, they are not the sole cause; there is also a direct human impact 🧪🌍🔥🌳🍁 wildfire #conservation
