Plant regrowth after forest fire
Plant regrowth one year after a forest fire. The plants and fungi seen here include Pholiota highlandensis mushrooms (lower left), the common liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha, white-green, centre), two mosses (Ceratodon purpureus, yellow, upper centre; and Polytrichum formosum, bright green, centre) and seedlings of the silver birch tree (Betula pendula, centre right and across top). This fire took place in a clear-felled area in the Tiveden forest, in Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable regrowth of plants and fungi in a forest one year after a devastating fire. The image captures the resilience of nature as it recovers from destruction, offering a glimpse into the intricate web of life that thrives even amidst charred wood and blackened rocks. In this snapshot, we witness an array of species reclaiming their place in the ecosystem. Pholiota highlandensis mushrooms gracefully sprout from the lower left corner, while the common liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) spreads its white-green beauty at the center. Two mosses, Ceratodon purpureus (yellow) and Polytrichum formosum (bright green), add vibrant splashes to this scene of rebirth. Amidst these resilient organisms are seedlings of silver birch trees (Betula pendula), symbolizing hope for future generations. Their presence across the top and towards the center-right signifies new growth emerging from ashes. Located in Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden's Tiveden forest was once clear-felled but has now become a testament to nature's ability to regenerate itself. This photograph not only highlights biological wonders such as fungi and bryophytes but also serves as a reminder that even after devastation, life finds a way to flourish once again. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both nature's fragility and its incredible power for renewal.
