Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Species differed significantly in post-fire growth rates.
- Observation Resprouting shrubs that also seed had the lowest growth rates.
- Observation Palmettos grew fastest, followed by shrubs then sub-shrubs.
- Association Within species, stem height traded off with new-stem density.
- Association Within species, height did not trade off with resprouting stem diameter.
