RE: Introduction to soil seed bank
Great read @gentleshaid, didn't know this whole soil seed bank thing, survival of the species is really important.
My country was just devastated by huge fires, and all the vegetation is already growing, it's just a shame that almost all of them are Eucalyptus, they burn so easily, what is your opinion on Eucalyptus as a botanist / plant ecologist / plant doctor
It depends on the species of the Eucalyptus although majority of them are naturally fire sensitive. I can bet it with time, most of the woody species in your country would become fire-tolerant if the trend of devastating fire continues annually.
Let's just hope that happens, only this year more than 100 ppl died because of forest fires.
Waiting for your next post @gentleshaid see you in SteemStem chat!
I once wrote an article on controlled burning as a way of preventing accidental forest fires. Forest managers in your country should have a look into this practice. See you!
