Does pyrogenicity protect burning plants?

Gagnon, Paul R.; Passmore, Heather A.; Platt, William J.; Myers, Jonathan A.; Paine, C. E. Timothy; Harms, Kyle Edward (2010)

Pyrogenic plants dominate many fire-prone ecosystems. Their prevalence suggests some advantage to their enhanced flammability, but researchers have had difficulty tying pyrogenicity to individual-level advantages. Based ...
Growth of an understory herb is chronically reduced in Amazonian forest fragments

Gagnon, Paul R.; Bruna, Emilio M.; Rubim, Paulo; Darrigo, Maria Rosa; Littell, Ramon C.; Uriarte, Maria; Kress, W. John (2011)

The biotic and abiotic changes associated with habitat fragmentation have been shown to have major consequences for plant recruitment and survivorship. However, few studies have quantified the growth of plants that persist ...
Small-Scale Variation in Fuel Loads Differentially Affects Two Co-Dominant Bunchgrasses in a Species-Rich Pine Savanna

Gagnon, Paul R.; Harms, Kyle Edward; Platt, William J.; Passmore, Heather A.; Myers, Jonathan A. (2012)

Ecological disturbances frequently control the occurrence and patterning of dominant plants in high-diversity communities like C-4 grasslands and savannas. In such ecosystems disturbance-related processes can have important ...
