Our new paper shows seed enhancement approaches work, buts it’s dependent on site legacies and other restoration treatments (i.e. soil ripping and herbicide applications). Check it out here -> https://t.co/2HHxcoJPdT @Vanessa_Brown_s @alisonlritchie S. Mastrantonis R. Hobbs

Identifying areas of high drought risk in southwest Western Australia! In a new paper with @DPIRDWA and @NACC_NRM we use publicly available spatial data to show that the northern and eastern wheatbelt are at highest risk from drought. Find it here: https://t.co/Z8Tp9SKN47

Our article @GlobalChangeBio is out: Ecological restoration in the age of apocalypse
https://t.co/X4TdZKCzWW If we are to attain the new goals set forth by multiple international groups for #restoration, critical evaluations of current practices & active changes need to be made.

@Dr_Rob_Davis @lost_in_botany Yes. Many sticky seeds - most swell up when hydrated (stickiness generally is mucilage which swells when wet - know it from Brassicaceae, Goodeniaceae, Nyctaginaceae). Some suggest this helps dispersal by ‘sticking’ to animals or water retention to improve germination.

[Todd E Erickson @TEricksonSeed]

@Davidjmerri Yes, in a controlled and timely manner!

Its about flaming time !!
New paper demonstrates flash flaming is a valid seed enhancement.
Send through any burning Qs you may have ;)

@PaulineGrierso1 @schubs70 @ultimatemegs @agvocate_au Leaves look quite long for vanleeuwenii?? Any close up shots of the inflorescence?
Stunning spinifex system though!

Final burn off of the year. Summer is coming.

[Amanda Bourne, PhD @manda_babbler]

Coming soon! The publication date for our book, #LowCarbonBirding, compiled and edited by @javiercaletrio, is just days away. The first copies have arrived @pelagicpublish and they look fantastic! This is a diverse and persuasive collection of essays about responsible birding.

[Todd E Erickson @TEricksonSeed]

@manda_babbler @bmichanderson Many more this morning too with @manda_babbler and @bmichanderson

[Xavier Portell @XPortellCanal]

Excellent talk of @MiriMunozRojas at #WCSS about restoration of soils. Can we use pelleted microorganisms to such aims? It seems so!

[Dr. Elise Gornish @RestoreCAL]

Congrats to @JulieELarson, one of the @ESArestore early career publication award winners! For the paper, Julie counted THOUSANDS of seeds over the years to explore how functional ecology drives success in restoration. Find her at #ESA2022!

So many baby Macrozamia riedlei sprouting after fire. There was an old mama plant that had left a cache of spilled seeds over the years, and now they will grow to replace her #gozamia #ozplants
