Sprouting ability across diverse disturbances and vegetation types worldwide (2004, background): “Where a substantial portion of the stem remains intact, such as after wind throw or slashing or fires of low intensity, more meristems are available to sprout, including epicormic and axillary buds (Gill 1981; Burrows 2002).”
Flammable biomes dominated by eucalypts originated at the Cretaceous-Palaeogene boundary. (2011, background): “Many are excellent post-fire epicormic resprouters from the stems and branches after high-intensity fire”
Costs and benefits of relative bark thickness in relation to fire damage: a savanna/forest contrast (2013, background): “eucalypts), relative bark thickness has been correlated with specialized resprouting (epicormic) anatomy (Burrows 2002; Burrows et al. 2010).”
The lanky and the corky: fire‐escape strategies in savanna woody species (2013, background): “Specifically, Australian eucalypts have buds embedded within the trunk (Burrows 2002) and consequently achieve stem protection with thinner barks than noneucalypt species (Lawes et al.”
Why do evergreen trees dominate the Australian seasonal tropics (2005, background): “Eucalypts have remarkable properties unrelated to their evergreen habit, such as their ability to recover after fire (e.g. Lacey and Whelan 1976; Gill 1997; Burrows 2002), that may explain their widespread distribution.”
Handbook of standardized protocols for collecting plant modularity traits (2019, background): “As bud density may vary along the stem of woody plants, to facilitate comparison, stem samples (sections) where buds are counted should be standardized according to plant size, and other characteristics (for detailed anatomical procedures, see Burrows, 2002; Burrows et al., 2010).”
A handbook of protocols for standardised and easy measurement of plant functional traits worldwide (2003, background): “…Bond and van Wilgen (1996); Everham and Brokaw (1996); Strasser et al. (1996); Pausas (1997); Sakai et al. (1997); Canadell and López-Soria (1998); Kammescheidt (1999); Pausas (1999); Bellingham and Sparrow (2000); Bond and Midgley (2000); Higgins et al. (2000); Del Tredici (2001); Burrows (2002).”
Bark thickness and fire regime (2015, background): “This is because eucalypts have an anatomical modification in which stem buds are more deeply embedded in the trunk than in most other trees (Burrows 2002), and thus, stem buds have a higher chance of survival.”
Funding the bud bank: A review of the costs of buds (2004, background): “This suggests the hypotheses that (1) Myrtaceae stems survive the fire (as do many Eucalyptus; Burrows 2002), and (2) that starch mobilization from belowground to aboveground structures is costly.”
Sprouting by semi‐arid plants: testing a dichotomy and predictive traits (2004, background): “sprouting which can be important ( Burrows 2002 ).”
Generalized fire response strategies in plants and animals (2018, background): “2018a), behind a thick bark (Pausas 2015a), or sunken in the trunk (Burrows 2002, Pausas and Keeley 2017).”
Fitness and evolution of resprouters in relation to fire (2011, background): “Burrows (2002) noted that the epicormic, budbearing meristematic strands in Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) are associated with the outer wood and vascular cambium whereas in the related rainforest Lophostemon and other trees in non-fire-prone systems they are located in the outer bark, but the analysis was…”
