Australia fires: plant-renewable photographed in ash
Green grasses grow in parts of Kulnura, sweeping The Fire before
The unprecedented Bush fires, parts of Australia, devastated huge areas of the country, its Natural Environment .
at least half a billion animals and countless trees, plants and other, as The Fire started in September.
More Than 6. 3 million acres (63,000 sq km, or 15. 6 million hectares) have been Burned so Far - a hectare is roughly the size of a sports field.
But in Some recently Burned areas, signs of life return are taken, as captured by local photographer Murray Lowe, who went to investigate, as The Fire of the Bush in the vicinity of his home in Kulnura on the Central Coast , New South Wales was affected.
Go to the gray ash, in addition to Mobile Phone masts struck by The Fire , the area devastated in late December, he found green grass and rose-colored leaves sprouting tribes by the burnt tree.
on Social Media , as Mr Lowe, who is 71, you posted on a Monday, when people are looking For Hope in the midst of the Devastation .
Some plant species to re-sprout quickly after fireAn avid photographer, Mr Lowe The Fire -hit areas as a break from his "normal coastal sunrise pictures wanted to document".
the journey through Kulnura, he held on to The Edge of the Dhurag National Park , in a small residential complex, which survived largely on the Brand.
"The floor is inflated ash in the air that made every step as we walked among the Tree Trunks in the eerie silence, and the silence, which explains only of this intensity fires to produce legacies," said Mr Lowe, a former vehicle inspector.
See the renewable plants so quickly gave him hope, after witnessing what seemed like a "Total Destruction ".
"that was the mark of the renewal that we had been looking for. We were witnesses to The Rebirth of the forest, which Australia is so well known," he said.
The 14,850 ha Dhurag National Park remains closed due to fire danger, is the home of several species, found only in southwest Australia, including the gymea lily.
Is this recovery normal?Yes , these types of plants have experienced, often triggered tens of millions of years. This has to develop an evolutionary pressure for them to recover the ability after he is Burned , said Dr. Kimberly Simpson, a fire ecology expert at the University of Sheffield.
plants have two ways to do this.
The First , or routing, which are clearly visible in the photos, according to Dr. Simpson.
Many Australian tree species, including most of the eucalyptus species, have epicormics buds that are deep under thick bark and are isolated from the intense heat. Many of the shrubs and grasses are also protected by fire by the insulating layer of the soil, i.e. they are able to resprout quickly.
Some species have buds deep Isolation of heat-The second way in which plant species recover very quickly through the regeneration of heat-resistant seeds buried in the bark.
In fact, the growth in optimal conditions after a fire for the small seedlings by abundant light and nutrients released from the ash. Dr. Simpson stated that it "frequently, a rapid revegetation of the soil after The Fire ".
However, there is no evidence of this process, Mr Lowe's photos, said Dr. Simpson, because these seeds need rain to germinate and there is no has been fires, no rain in Kulnara since.
this Will happen all over The Fire -hit Australia?Regeneration after a fire occurs over the years - Some species resprout soon after fire, and more.
However, the size and severity of this season's fires "concerns about the survival of species that are adapted to fire," said Dr. Simpson.
She Said The High temperatures to reach the fires, combined with the unprecedented drought in many parts of Australia, are likely to lead to high plant mortality.
"We can see, local extinction in cases where species displaced are beyond their ability to recover," and he struck you before.
in Particular, in relation to the impact of fire in Australia, the rain forest, the not normally experience fire, and are poorly equipped to recover after they are Burned .
