Baptism by fire: the pivotal role of ancient conflagrations in evolution of the Earth's flora (2018, background): “Fire-resistant rainforests are usually composed of fire-intolerant trees though basal-resprouting and root suckering may be common [91].”
The 2019/2020 mega-fires exposed Australian ecosystems to an unprecedented extent of high-severity fire (2021, background): “across temperate forest and woodland communities, wheremost tree species display some resistance to fire through thick insulative bark and tall canopies [23, 24].”
Fire as a Selective Agent for both Serotiny and Nonserotiny Over Space and Time (2020, background): “Leptospermoid Myrtaceae may provide one exception, where trees with vestigial (blind) epicormic buds may be present in nonfireprone rainforest (Clarke et al. , 2013) and these are also nonserotinous.”
Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “Also, soil depth of buds and rhizomes in relation to fire severity is likely to be more critical than maximum rooting depth (Pausas et al. 2004; Clarke et al. 2013).”
Effects of disturbance frequency and severity on plant traits: An assessment across a temperate flora (2018, background): “Furthermore, ability to resprout has been suggested to drive response of woody plants to firedriven disturbance (Bellingham & Sparrow, 2000; Clarke et al., 2013).”
Ecology and long-term history of fire in New Zealand. (2014, background): “…and the possession of volatile leaf chemicals may be exaptations – resprouting has a range of benefits and occurs as a response to disturbances other than fire (Clarke et al. 2013) and volatile leaf chemicals such as terpenoids also act as anti-herbivore defences (Paré & Tumlinson 1999).”
