Back to work, this time, after sorting seeds, it's time to count the viable ones that already germinated. And the results is these little cuties 🤏🏻🌱❤️

Hypothesized distribution of the belowground persistence types along a gradient of disturbance return time with hump-shaped (first increasing and then decreasing) investment in resprouting (highlighted by intensity of shading). The disturbance return time ranges from less than a year to many decades. source: original paper
🌱 New framework in plant ecology! Researchers propose 6 Belowground Persistence Types (BPTs) — classifying plants by woodiness, clonality, and resprouting ability. This whole-plant view reveals how species persist after disturbance and could reshape how we study resilience.

Exciting week seeing some beautiful Cerrado seeds germinate and learning a lot from the best, @heloizazirondi.bsky.social @leveg.bsky.social 🌱
Now there are lotsssss of seeds to count 😅😅😅
Smoke experiments going on in our lab! #SeedEcology #FireEcology #Seeds
A graphic with an icon of the sun, a wiggly line denoting natural cycles, and a volcano, with a title reading "WHY is climate changing?" created by me. Not fancy, as my graphic design skills lean to function over art!
Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.
Could these be the real culprits?
The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

And we talked a lot about seeds at the #ATBC2025! Thanks @caordonezparra.bsky.social for organizing this amazing symposium and delivering this great talk! @heloizazirondi.bsky.social summed up 10 years of our research about fire and seed ecology in the Cerrado! You guys rock!
📢📢🔥🔥🔥 I am so excited to announce our book about Fire in the South American Ecosystems! It has 14 Chapters led mostly by south american authors. Thanks to all authors for their valuable contribution! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Going to the field with @fealvarez.bsky.social to see the post-fire flowering plants - we found this cute one (Stenandrium irwinii)
Dr. Aline Bombo (@alinebombo.bsky.social), post doc in our lab, is now an affiliated professor in the Plant Biology postgrad program at UNICAMP!
