“The risk of severe wildfires could be cut by reducing the dominance of a moorland grass that leaves the landscape vulnerable to outbreaks, according to researchers.”
“In 1989, while being moved from one storage facility to another, the specimen was severely damaged and was thought lost.”
“"Molinia can act as a severe wildfire risk because there's quite a lot of biomass, it can get quite dry,"”
“It turned up again after vertebrate paleontologist and curator Bent Erik Kramer Lindow of the Natural History Museum of Denmark noticed a box of jumbled remnants and realized that he was looking at some of the missing fossils.”
“"Also generally when you see molinia-dominated areas, they are quite uniform in structure and height - so that just makes wildfire spread quicker and easier across the site."”
“Ultimately, the researchers found the box contained two partially preserved vertebrae, at least 185 small vertebra fragments, and several rock pieces containing casts of vertebrae.”
“"Molinia also dominates the moorland because it returns faster than other plants after a fire, making it harder for the moss layer - which is better at holding on to moisture - to return."”
“Although it lived for only around 20 million years, from around 23 million to around 3.6 million years ago, megalodon is one of the most beloved predators of the ancient world.”
“"If you get rid of that moss layer, the peat can become quite flat and the water rushes off, so you get loss of water retention in peatlands," explained Titterton. "So that can lead to things like flooding downstream and increased costs fo…”
“But figuring out what megalodon looked like and how big it was is a game of educated guesses. Because sharks have cartilaginous skeletons, they don't leave many fossils behind; for megalodon, all that remains are mostly teeth, with occasio…”
