Role of fire in regeneration from seed
January 1, 2000
The effects of fire on seed germination and plant regeneration are discussed. Among the topics considered are the triggering of opening of serotinous fruits or cones by fire, the breaking of dormancy in seeds in the soil seed bank, the effects of smoke on germination, and the role of fire in initiating seedling recruitment by opening gaps in closed vegetation.
