Ep. 345 - Reconstructing Two Centuries of Midwest Prairie Fire History


Listen Later

Understanding the role of fire in an ecosystem is very important. It can also be a very difficult task where good data are limited. This hasn't stopped Dr. Greg Spyreas and colleagues from trying! By scouring over two centuries worth of historical documents for first-person accounts, Dr. Spyreas and others have been able to track 200+ years of fire history in the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest.
