What happens when you have a prescribed fire at the end of the dry season, fire of high severity with T>700ºC? The Cerrado blooms! 45 days post-fire and a high proportion of the spp flowering and fruiting. Isn’t that amazing? #Cerrado #FireEcology @leveg.bsky.social @programabiota.bsky.social

This week was full for the seed people at @leveg.bsky.social ! We did germination experiments and sorted a lot of seeds! #seedecology #fireecology

🌿 The first article of our DarkDivNet consortium, led by Meelis Pärtel, has been published in Nature. Our dataset from 5500 sites in 119 world regions, collected specially for this purpose, shows that plant diversity is negatively affected not only by direct human impact such as local disturbance.
