CACA: Is fire changing our Arizona Upland plant communities?
February 27, 2018 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
FreeCentral Arizona Conservation Alliance
Join us for the first Speaker Series event of 2018!
Understanding how fire is changing our Arizona Upland plant communities with Kara Barron, Research Assistant at the Desert Botanical Garden.
With fires occurring more frequently in the Sonoran Desert, understanding how plant communities respond will inform effective land management practices. Kara hopes to shed some light on this subject by sharing the outcomes of four post-fire study sites: one that was seeded post-fire and three that recovered naturally.
Kara Barron is a Master’s student in the Plant Biology and Conservation program at Arizona State University, focusing on plant community ecology and floristics. Her research involves studying how Arizona Upland plant community composition is affected by fire and is also conducting a floristic inventory for Cave Creek Regional Park.
