🌱 New framework in plant ecology! Researchers propose 6 Belowground Persistence Types (BPTs) — classifying plants by woodiness, clonality, and resprouting ability. This whole-plant view reveals how species persist after disturbance and could reshape how we study resilience.

Exciting week seeing some beautiful Cerrado seeds germinate and learning a lot from the best, @heloizazirondi.bsky.social @leveg.bsky.social 🌱

Smoke experiments going on in our lab! #SeedEcology #FireEcology #Seeds

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.

Could these be the real culprits?

The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

And we talked a lot about seeds at the #ATBC2025! Thanks @caordonezparra.bsky.social for organizing this amazing symposium and delivering this great talk! @heloizazirondi.bsky.social summed up 10 years of our research about fire and seed ecology in the Cerrado! You guys rock!

📢📢🔥🔥🔥 I am so excited to announce our book about Fire in the South American Ecosystems! It has 14 Chapters led mostly by south american authors. Thanks to all authors for their valuable contribution! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Going to the field with @fealvarez.bsky.social to see the post-fire flowering plants - we found this cute one (Stenandrium irwinii)
