Bud banks and their role in vegetative regeneration – A literature review and proposal for simple classification and assessment (2007, background): “…and the ability to sprout from plant fragments determine plant regeneration after disturbances differing in severity (Bellingham and Sparrow, 2000; Vesk et al., 2004b; Vesk and Westoby, 2004c), whereas seasonal fluctuations in the number of buds determine the response to different timing of…”
LIFE HISTORY TYPE AND WATER STRESS TOLERANCE IN NINE CALIFORNIA CHAPARRAL SPECIES (RHAMNACEAE) (2007, background): “All nine species are woody evergreen shrubs, thus controlling for any life history trait or functional trait differences associated with life form (Vesk et al. 2004, Keeley et al. 2006).”
Wildfire promotes broadleaves and species mixture in boreal forest (2009, unknown): “Lower intensity burns would result in greater shrub competition since there would be less damage to underground structures, while higher intensity burns would reduce or eliminate shrub regrowth by killing these underground structures (Waldrop et al., 1992; Vesk et al., 2004).”
Fitness and evolution of resprouters in relation to fire (2011, background): “Burrows (2002) has shown how the stored buds in some rainforest trees are near the stem surface compared with their fireprone counterparts, whereas burnt plants are more likely to die than pruned ones (Lloret et al. 1999; Vesk et al. 2004).”
Plant size and resprouting ability: trading tolerance and avoidance of damage? (2006, background): “…work has found that resprouting ability is mixed within growth forms (Bellingham et al. 1994; Hodgkinson 1998; Vesk et al. 2004), although some growth forms are less variable, e.g. grasses tend to be resprouters and subshrubs from the Chenopodiaceae tend to be non-resprouters (Vesk et al. 2004).”
Plant functional traits in studies of vegetation changes in response to grazing and mowing: towards a use of more specific traits (2008, background): “This might indicate that persistence and fast re-occupancy of the canopy after mowing is a key strategy for meadow plants, similarly to that of resprouters in pastures and fire-prone areas (Hendrickson & Briske 1997, Benson et al. 2004, Vesk et al. 2004b, Olano et al. 2006).”
Sprouting ability across diverse disturbances and vegetation types worldwide (2004, unknown): “Full details are elsewhere (Vesk et al. 2004).”
