Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Population structure and dynamics were similar in two pre-fire seasons.
- Observation Fire was followed by a massive increase in first size class branch frequency.
- Observation height of Stevia ramets differed significantly before versus after fire.
- Observation number of nodes of Stevia ramets differed significantly before versus after fire.
- Observation number of fruits of Stevia ramets differed significantly before versus after fire.
- Association Post-fire demography on Fernseea mats differed significantly from other mats.
- Mechanism Authors infer fire smoke triggers rapid responses and return to prior conditions in rupicolous communities.
