Resprouting as a key functional trait: how buds, protection and resources drive persistence after fire
Resprouting as a response to disturbance is now widely recognized as a key functional trait
among woody plants and as the basis for the persistence niche. However, the underlying …

Responses of plant biomass in the Brazilian savanna to frequent fires
Fire has been a natural feature of the ecosystem for million years. Still, currently fire regimes
have been increasingly altered by human activities and climate change, causing economic …

Cork oak vulnerability to fire: the role of bark harvesting, tree characteristics and abiotic factors
Forest ecosystems where periodical tree bark harvesting is a major economic activity may
be particularly vulnerable to disturbances such as fire, since debarking usually reduces tree …

[HTML][HTML] Post-fire resprouting strategies of woody vegetation in the Brazilian savanna
Post-fire response by vegetation may reflect the severity of the damage suffered, but we still
know little about the species-specific nature of responses to fire or their predictors. Here, we …
