Effects of fire recurrence in Quercus coccifera L. shrublands of the Valencia Region (Spain): I. plant composition and productivity (2005, background): “This species possesses a well-developed rhizomatous system, which permits an efficient vegetative propagation after fire Caturla et al. 2000 .”
Long-term post-fire vegetation dynamics in Pinus halepensis forests of Central Greece: A functional group approach (2004, background): “In the case of B. pinnatum group, species are characterized by vivid lateral growth, a feature that enables them to show a better exploitation of water resources and space (Caturla et al. 2000).”
Mechanisms underlying the interaction between Pinus halepensis and the native late‐successional shrub Pistacia lentiscus in a semi‐arid plantation (2004, background): “The negative effect of herbaceous understorey on soil moisture was maximised during the spring, coinciding with the main growth season for Brachypodium / the major component of this understorey / (Caturla et al. 2000).”
Flammability as an ecological and evolutionary driver (2017, background): “…grasses have their meristems at the leaf base, they benefit from a fast fire because it stimulates new growth (and often increase flowering, e.g. Caturla et al. 2000); fast fires also enable clonal spread by opening resource space (critical because tillers are often shade-intolerant; Everson,…”
