πŸ”₯ RESEARCH πŸ”₯

Shrub resprouting depends on pre-disturbance condition, with aridity, soil fertility & fire history as secondary drivers. Repeated disturbance reduces resprouting, & adult plants are more resilient under low water conditions - Zomer et al.

Fig. 1.Location of the study area (boxed region in inset map) in the Iberian Peninsula, showing the gradient of historical aridity (lower aridity index values are indicative of less aridity); location of field populations (left map) of Anthyllis cytisoides (n=6, brown circles) and Globularia alypum (n=10, teal triangles); and location of common garden seed provenances (right map) of A. cytisoides (n=4) in Low aridity (blue circles) and High aridity (red circles) areas. Borders in the inset map are countries, and in main maps are provinces.

Fig. 1.Resprouting plants differ in their success in resprouting post-fire as well as in the vigour of resprouting shoots. Some plants may (A) not survive the fire and will not resprout (plant 1), or will successfully resprout and subsequently die (plant 2), while yet others will resprout but with differing degrees of vigour, as evidenced by different crown heights and volumes (B–D). The images are the California Mediterranean-type climate region shrub, Adenostoma fasciculatum Hook. & Arn. (Rosaceae), during the first winter post-fire. (Photo credit: A.L. Jacobsen.)

Congrats Kristin Davis for her #ecology research that challenges the #NicheConservatismHypothesis: the theory that a species' ecological niche (conditions where individuals can survive and reproduce) remains stable over space & time.
