Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Phenology changes for the Japanese cherry tree (Prunus jamasakura) in Kyoto. Left: Day of the year of the flowering peak for the period between 812 and 2024. Right: Relation between March mean air temperature (°C) in Kyoto and the day of the year of the Japanese cherry tree peak flowering for the period between 1890 and 2024.

Pine plantations burn more severely & recover more slowly than other vegetation types. This is observed using the forest map (L) or the forest inventory (R), Spain

Relationship between fire severity (dNBR, x axis) and early postfire recovery (y axis) for the different vegetation types affected in the Bermeja, Culebra and Hurdes wildfires (Spain). A: based on the Spanish Forest Map (MFE) data; B: based on the Spanish National Inventory (IFN). Dashed lines correspond to global means.

After some days visiting a few burnt areas in northern Argentinian Patagonia, here are some species that resprout from the base after a wildfire: Lomatia hirsuta (Proteaceae), Aristotelia chilensis (Elaeocarpaceae), Schinus patagonica (Anacardiaceae), Nothofagus antarctica (Nothofagaceae)

🔥 These findings support the idea that fire can alter the phenotype of individual plants, potentially through epigenetic mechanisms, and suggest that these changes may affect plant-animal interactions🌺

#Sequoia and Sequoiadendron: Two paleoendemic megatrees with markedly different adaptive responses to recent high-severity fires

By Jon Keeley & @jgpausas.bsky.social

Although most trees in western USA conifer forests are killed by high intensity crown fires, most California coast redwoods survive by resprouting (photo by Jon Keeley, 2 years after the CZU Fire in Big Basin State Park).

Those savannas next to the river that experienced flooding a few months ago are now ready to burn (flood-sensitive grasses); savannas further from the river are green (non-flammable).
Flooding enhances fire, i.e., water and fire are complementary forces in Los Llanos del Orinoco, Colombia.

Savanna with all the grasses dead, although we are not in the dry season. This savanna is close to the river and was flooded a few months ago
