Extreme fire severity interacts with seed traits to moderate post‐fire species assemblages

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is globally pushing fire regimes to new extremes, with unprecedented large‐scale severe fires. Persistent soil seed banks are a key mechanism for plant species recovery after fires, but extreme fire severity may generate soil temperatures beyond thresholds seeds are adapted to.

Stomatal distribution and post‐fire recovery: Intra‐ and interspecific variation in plants of the pyrogenic Florida scrub

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Amphistomy, the presence of stomata on both leaf surfaces, can increase photosynthesis yet is uncommon across vascular plants. The relative infrequency of amphistomy is often attributed to high costs, such as transpirational water loss.

Heat waves decrease fitness and alter maternal provisioning in natural populations of Mimulus guttatus

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The increasing frequency and severity of heat waves across the globe is well known. However, few longitudinal studies have tracked demographic change and fitness within natural populations, and fewer still have spanned multiple extreme events.
