Resprouters Versus Reseeders: Are Wild Rooibos Ecotypes Genetically Distinct? [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Aspalathus linearis (Burm. F.) R. Dahlgren (Fabaceae) or rooibos, is a strict endemic species, limited to areas of the Cederberg (Western Cape) and the southern Bokkeveld plateau (Northern Cape) in the greater Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa.

Photosynthesis and photoprotection in Quercus ilex resprouts after fire [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 1998 Plants that resprout after fires often have higher rates of photosynthesis than before a fire. To elucidate the mechanism of this response, we studied gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in Quercus ilex L. plants growing on control (unburned) sites and on sites that had been burned the preceding summer.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2019 It is generally assumed that plants can respond to varying degrees of physical damage by growth compensation via resprouting, and resprouting is a key functional trait in many species. Few studies have investigated how grass and shrub species distributed

History matters: previous land use changes determine post-fire vegetation recovery in forested Mediterranean landscapes [PDF]
, 2012 Land use changes and shifts in disturbance regimes (e.g. wildfires) are recognized worldwide as two of the major drivers of the current global change in terrestrial ecosystems.

Revista Árvore, 2017 Tropical dry forest trees have high resprouting ability, which may be useful for ecological restoration purposes. However, resprouting ability is affected by the type and severity of the disturbance. This study described the regeneration of trees through

A Global Perspective of the Functional Trait Responses of Graminoids to the Seasonality of Fire
Fire, 2023 In fire-prone ecosystems, plant resilience to recurrent fires depends on certain fire-adaptive traits. However, how key functional and reproductive traits of graminoids respond to varying burning seasons is poorly understood.

Stand-level drivers of tree-species diversification in Mediterranean pine forests after abandonment of traditional practices [PDF]

Resprouting grasses are associated with less frequent fire than seeders [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Plant populations persist under recurrent fire via resprouting from surviving tissues (resprouters) or seedling recruitment (seeders). Woody species are inherently slow maturing, meaning that seeders are confined to infrequent fire regimes.
