Barriers to forest regeneration of deforested and abandoned land in Panama (2005, background): “In contrast, the density of regenerating tree and shrub species was not significantly affected by burning because a subset of the original species resprouted in high densities after fire (Hooper, Legendre & Condit 2004; also reported in Australia Setterfield 2002).”
Establishment and early persistence of tree seedlings in an annually burned savanna (2008, background): “Fire is also known to decrease savanna seedling survival (Setterfield 2002), with a possible interaction with dry-season water shortage and early wet-season dry spells (Hoffmann 1996; Higgins et al .”
Savanna woody plant dynamics: the role of fire and herbivory, separately and synergistically (2010, background): “Even for extremely fire-tolerant eucalypts, percentage survival of seedlings beyond the first fire is low (Setterfield 2002).”
Effects of pasture management on the natural regeneration of neotropical trees (2007, unknown): “…seeds that are fire tolerant or experience enhanced germination under fire (Conrado, Chavelas & Camacho 1993), while reducing the emergence of seedlings of other species that are negatively affected by the changes in understorey cover and microclimatic conditions in burnt areas (Setterfield 2002).”
