To understand plant resilience to fire, look belowground New research and commentary by Marco Antonio Chiminazzo from Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil. The photo above was taken by Marco Antonio Chiminazzo during a prescribed burn in Central Braz…

Belowground persistence types relevant to severe disturbance Despite recent advances in plant trait ecology, we identified a knowledge gap in understanding how plants strategize to cope with severe and recurrent disturbances. Here, we propose a new classificati...
