Our new field study explores how fire interval & fire severity influence plant maturity, led by Ella Plumanns Pouton w/ Trent Penman & Swan

If the time between fires (intervals) is too short, plants have insufficient time to grow seeds. Without seeds, some plants are at 'immaturity risk' if another fire occurs. But do these 'immaturity risk' intervals depend on fire severity? 1/

This is the first register of Wildland Fire Use in Europe, i.e. letting a non-intentional fire burn under controlled conditions and inside the pre-planified limits approved in a plan: the Fire Management Plan of the Aran Valley, Pyrenees, Spain.

This mixed species forest of eucalypts might look a bit scrappy but it’s a hot spot for endangered Greater Gliders in the Yarra Ranges. This week students from University of Melbourne⁩ found 26 individuals along a single 500 m transect, with glider expert ⁦Ben Wagner⁩

Excited for day 1 of #ESASCBO2022 ! I'm talking at 11.15 in the fire ecology session about fire severity and immaturity risk, but am also keen to chat about the other components of my PhD- plant traits, functional types, canopy and soil seedbanks...and well anything really!

Looking forward to #ESASCBO2022 next week and catching up with so many people! If you're keen to hear about the immense amount of fieldwork I have been doing surveying plants across Vic then come to my talk on Monday at 12pm, Fire Ecology session. Keen! Ecological Society of Australia SCB Oceania
