Gaia Bomb
Fire-ignited seed dispersal for rapid regeneration of temperate climates after wildfires.
In hotter climates, flora have had millions of years to evolve fire- resistant traits that allow them to thrive in wildfire-prone environments. However, the climate crisis is rapidly heating the planet, putting biodiverse, temperate climates at risk of extinction due to the delicate nature of native plant species essential for local ecosystems. Human intervention is needed before it’s too late.
Gaia Bomb is a fire-dependent seed dispersal mechanism inspired by plant species native to hotter climates. It insulates seeds from temperate climates during a wildfire and disperses them once the flames have passed, promoting rapid regeneration.
