RE: Field site fire - the ecology of the fynbos
Though understanding the regular need for such a "reset" and that it was a natural cause to create this fire, it is still so sad.. So many animals must have lost their homes, some probably their lives.. :(
Heartbreaking
There will definitely be some losses of animal life, but those species are adapted to the cycle of burning and regrowth as well. This is a bit of a biologist way to look at things, but from a population level it's fine. That side, I'm going to be very sad if I don't see my little elephant shrew pop up somewhere in the next few days...
