we burned trash for science - always fun in the firelab ! www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/8/... using melted trash found in wildfires to consider energy fluxes

Did you know that UK ecosystems have plants that host fire adaptive traits? We created a database www.ukplantfiretraits.org and check out the paper that goes with it bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
Adaptive plant traits under anthropogenic burning regimes: A database for UK heath and mire plant species
Premise Humans have used fire to manage landscapes for millennia, but this use of fire is declining in many ecosystems. Understanding how plants respond to these changes is key to predicting ecosyst...

It's been a while, but it's been good to get back to researching long-term fire feedbacks and how fires help regulate the abundance of oxygen in our atmosphere www.science.org/doi/full/10....
Combined effects of photorespiration and fire strongly regulate atmospheric oxygen levels
Interactions between wildfire and photorespiration under high O2 strongly regulate Earth’s atmospheric oxygen levels.
