Proud to have published another chapter of my PhD research, this time in Science of the Total Environment! Investigating factors affecting severity of Scottish upland wildfires ๐ฅ๐ฟ https://t.co/wfXxzrjOFn @STOTEN_journal@TCornulier @RobinPakeman @ecologylou@JamesHuttonInst
This was a bucket list encounter in Monteverde, Costa Rica this week. Can you spot it from the first image?
Itโs one of the most remarkable disguises in all of nature, the moss mimic stick insect.
Passed my PhD defence and my friends @JillMayberry3 and @FiPlenderleith made me this wonderful cake, complete with buttercream fire and Sphagnum, fondant heather and cottongrass, oreo soil... and fondant me, looking like the swamp witch I am ๐ ๐ #phd#cake#viva#fire
@w_l_burn@UoABioSci I think the thesis will be a available publically after the defence and corrections in a month or so. Can let you know. One paper is published, i tweeted a link a few weeks ago. Aim to submit the remaining chapters soon๐
How long does it take for vegetation in heathlands and bogs to regenerate after wildfire? How is regeneration affected by fire severity? Or altitude? If you're curious, make sure to attend my talk on Monday at British Ecological Society Annual Meeting 2022! ๐ฅ #wildfire#BES2022
