Drones are critical tools for real-time #wildfire #pyroaerobiology smoke measurements, as well as whale snot research! Coincidence? www.science.org/content/arti...
Possible ban on Chinese-made drones dismays U.S. scientists
Switching to costlier, less capable drones could impede research on whales, forests, and more

1st #fireecology & 1st #postdoc paper shows that wildland fire 🔥 pushes bacteria from within plants & soils into the atmosphere.

This is an important piece of understanding how smoke moves microbes (good & bad). 🧪🌎🔥🧬

These results support a growing understanding of wildfire 🔥 as a microbial pump & smoke as an environmental reservoir & mechanism for dispersal.

Evidence for Wildland Fire Smoke Transport of Microbes From Terrestrial Sources to the Atmosphere and Back
Most bacterial taxa in wildland fire smoke can be traced to local surface vegetation and soil communities The bacterial assemblage in ambient air was mostly derived from unknown sources Local te...

Our recent paper traces the bacteria 🦠 in wildland fire 🔥 smoke back to ground sources for the 1st time.

We found that 70% of smoke-borne bacteria originated from the aspen (33%) & soil (37%) communities at the burn location.
