The probability of dormancy complicates assessments of postburn resprouting and necessitates frequent and long-term resurveys of tagged L. ohlingerae individuals. |
Most scrub dominants recover by resprouting and clonal spread, while many herbaceous species are obligate seeders. |
Following the juniper removal, the Scanlans observed resprouting of sagebrush and an increase in the density of native bunchgrasses. |
Similarly, clipping shoots of Artemisia plants did not reduce resprouting relative to unclipped control plants. |
