Seasonal Differences in Ecophysiological Performance between Resprouters and Non-Resprouters across an Aridity Gradient in Northwest Tunisia

Sustainability, 2023
Understanding the functioning of shrub species during dry periods is necessary to forecast ecosystem responses to future climates, particularly in Mediterranean environments. We evaluated the seasonal changes in leaf gas exchange, hydraulic traits, carbon and nitrogen isotopes, and non-structural carbohydrates of seeders and resprouting shrub species ...

Quercus suber L. Fire Responses According to Tree Characteristics and Fire Intensity in NE Spain

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Quercus suber L (QS) resprouts as a key response to fire disturbance. It is well known that the development of a thick bark, that performs a thermal insulation, is a remarkable adaptation of QS to wildland fires.

Fire intensity effects on flowering and post-fire bud activity in the endemic savanna bunchgrass Aristida beyrichiana. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
Although flowering and bud activity are not significantly affected by fire intensity, wiregrass' bud bank changes with time since fire. Abstract The bud bank of perennial grasses is a key aspect of their reproduction and longevity in frequently burned ecosystems.

Physiological drought responses improve predictions of live fuel moisture dynamics in a Mediterranean forest. [PDF]

, 2018
The moisture content of live fuels is an important determinant of forest flammability. Current approaches for modelling live fuel moisture content typically focus on the use of drought indices.

To resprout or not to resprout: factors driving intraspecific variability in resprouting

Oikos, 2012
Resprouting is a mechanism that allows individual plants to persist in disturbance‐prone ecosystems. It is often considered a binary trait, defining species as resprouters or non‐resprouters. Although this dichotomous classification accounts for a high proportion of the interspecific variability in resprouting, it does not account ...

Tropical forests structure and diversity: A comparison of methodological choices

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Large‐scale data compilation is increasing steadily in tropical forest research, but the lack of standardized methods for data collection limits drawing inference from large datasets and cross‐biome analyses.

Drought and resprouting plants

New Phytologist, 2014
SummaryMany species have the ability to resprout vegetatively after a substantial loss of biomass induced by environmental stress, including drought. Many of the regions characterised by ecosystems where resprouting is common are projected to experience more frequent and intense drought during the 21st Century.

Effects of water and nutrient addition on the coppice growth response of cut Terminalia sericea

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2016
The ability of a woody plant to coppice and remain vigorous largely depends on the severity of disturbances, resource availability and the mobilisation of stored reserves.

Developing recommendations by rapid ecological assessment for post-fire restoration in low altitude forests and shrublands in Mediterranean climate region: A case study for Datça-Bozburun Special Protection Area

Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2022
The Mediterranean Basin is a biogeography shaped by fires for millions of years. For the restoration of burned areas in the Mediterranean Basin, therefore, planning should increase resistance and resilience of plant communities to fire by considering ...

Limits to the height growth of Caragana korshinskii resprouts [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2013
Predawn leaf water potential (LWP), the LWP between 09:00 and 10:30 h (termed minimum LWP), stem xylem hydraulic conductivity, foliar nitrogen, leaf gas exchange and leaf traits were measured on the same days in adults and 1-year-old to 7-year-old resprouts that had regrown after removing all the aboveground shoots.
