How does fire break seed dormancy?

Fatty acid composition in seed coats is not the mechanism

The first chapter of my PhD is out! 🌱🔥 We looked at whether fatty acids (a common seed oil) changed composition across fire-prone and fire-free habitats + dormancy-breaking temperatures in physically dormant seeds! (1/2) @markooiecol.bsky.social @ryantangney.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/aob/...

New paper out! After the 2019-2020 #fires in Australia our team undertook #IUCN Red List assessments of fire affected #plant species, to handle the volume we undertook paired rapid and full assessments and compared their accuracy 1/4 doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Finally a good reason to make my first bluesky post. Our new paper describes the pyro-thermal niche - a way to qualify how seeds respond to fire type temperatures. The metrics that comprise the pyro-thermal niche are influenced by phylogeny! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Defining the pyro‐thermal niche: do seed traits, ecosystem type and phylogeny influence thermal thresholds in seeds with physical dormancy?

Seeds are a key pathway for plant population recovery following disturbance. To prevent germination during unsuitable conditions, most species produce dormant seeds. In fire-prone regions, physical .....

#ESAus24 done and dusted! Thrilled to have co-organised a molecular ecology symposium with @nathalimicro.bsky.social and @ryantangney.bsky.social, and thanks @ecolsocaus.bsky.social for once again hosting an amazing conference! 🌱🔥
