A sad goodbye to the Beadel House - a former quail hunting plantation built in the 1890s by the Beadel family and ultimately left to be used as an ecological research station. 😭 Sad to see this part of #TallTimbers go up in flames. Spent time there in undergrad. #Forests #FireResearch #FireEcology
Sequoias in the Sierra. Meadow Grove Loop. One of the better-known groves with conditions that were perfect for these trees 1000 years ago—presumably a fire hot enough to burn off a fair amount of undergrowth. Currently, young fir are growing underneath which increases fire risk. Historically,these old trees benefit from low intensity fires keeping the undergrowth cleared out, but fire suppression efforts have changed the equation. In recent fires, a significant number of old sequoias have died. Can new ones germinate if the soil gets too hot? Will today’s climate support a new millennium of sequoias?
My son insisted that we see both the redwoods and sequoias on this trip ❤️. The interpretive signs were such a great reminder of the ways that all life on this planet is in such flux, and adapts so creatively to so many conditions. We are having so many #fireecology discussions as we drive.
