Continental‐scale empirical evidence for relationships between fire response strategies and fire frequency

S Yang, MKJ Ooi, DS Falster, WK Cornwell - New Phytologist, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Theory suggests that the dominance of resprouting and seeding, two key mechanisms
through which plants persist with recurrent fire, both depend on other traits and vary with fire …

Micropeltation in Myrtaceae: a neglected subject

VM Dörken, PG Ladd, RF Parsons - Trees, 2024 - Springer
