Bottom‐up multitrophic effects in resprouting plants

Ecology, 2012
Severe damage often provokes compensatory resprouting of plants, which commonly modify plant morphological and phenological traits. Rapid plant growth often results in poorly defended nutrient‐rich foliage, which is more susceptible to foliar‐chewing herbivores. It is less known how other guilds of arthropods are affected by plant regrowth.

Yellow Nutsedge Sprouting and Resprouting Potential

Weed Science, 1975
Yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentusL.) was studied to determine the relationship between physical character of tubers and sprouting habits. All tuber lots studied, which averaged from 157 to 662 mg per tuber, sprouted and grew well under greenhouse conditions. Longevity (the time between initial planting and death) increased with tuber weight.

Resource remobilization in Quercus ilex L. resprouts

Plant and Soil, 2003
We studied the source of the nitrogen used for the growth and resprouting of holm-oak (Quercus ilexL.), and the contribution of nitrogen and carbohydrate root reserves to these processes. Three-year-old plants were grown in a greenhouse with either a sufficient or restricted nitrogen supply for one year.

Resprouting Ability of Six Atlantic Shrub Species

Folia Geobotanica, 2009
Resprouting from subterranean structures is a principal method of vegetative regeneration that many shrub species show after a disturbance. This study, therefore, aims to determine the resprouting capacity and intensity of six dominant species in an Atlantic shrubland area located in the NW of the Iberian Peninsula and compare their resprouting and ...

Investigating woody species resprouting in response to fire

2022
<p>Fire is a major disturbance in natural ecosystems and more extreme fires are predicted to occur in the future. Plant species can survive or resist wildfires and adapt to fire-prone regimes by exhibiting fire-related plant traits such as serotiny and heat-simulated germination.

Carbon consequences of drought differ in forests that resprout

Global Change Biology, 2019
AbstractProlonged drought and intense heat‐related events trigger sudden forest die‐off events and have now been reported from all forested continents. Such die‐offs are concerning given that drought and heatwave events are forecast to increase in severity and duration as climate change progresses.

Resprouting and seeding hypotheses: a test of the gap-dependent model using resprouting and obligate seeding subspecies of Arctostaphylos

Plant Ecology, 2016
Ecological factors favoring either postfire resprouting or postfire obligate seeding in plants have received considerable attention recently. Three ecological models have been proposed to explain patterns of these two life history types. In this study, we test these three models using data from California chaparral.

Elevated CO 2 enhances resprouting of a tropical savanna tree

Oecologia, 2000
The savannas (cerrado) of south-central Brazil are currently subjected to frequent anthropogenic burning, causing widespread reduction in tree density. Increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 could reduce the impact of such frequent burning by increasing the availability of nonstructural carbohydrate, which is necessary for resprouting.

To resprout or not to resprout? Modeling population dynamics of a root-sprouting monocarpic plant under various disturbance regimes

Plant Ecology, 2014
Monocarpic plants are favored in conditions of high mortality of reproductive individuals, whereas situations with low juvenile survival give an advantage to polycarpic perennials. However, certain plant species combine both strategies, showing high plasticity and life-history variation in recurrently disturbed habitats.

Fire tolerance of a resprouting Artemisia (Asteraceae) shrub

Plant Ecology, 2011
In North America, most Artemisia (Asteraceae) shrub species lack the ability to resprout after disturbances that remove aboveground biomass. We studied the response of one of the few resprouting Artemisia shrubs, Artemisia filifolia (sand sagebrush), to the effects of prescribed fires. We collected data on A.
