Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

Abstract Purpose of Review We describe current approaches that evaluate how the
influence of species traits on the relationship between environmental variables and …

Natural and anthropogenic fires have historically been part of the Mediterranean Basin (MB).
As a result of this long exposure to fires, MB flora has developed various strategies to persist …

Resprouting is a mechanism that allows individual plants to persist in disturbance‐prone
ecosystems. It is often considered a binary trait, defining species as resprouters or non …

Plant species with physical seed dormancy are common in mediterranean fire-prone
ecosystems. Because fire breaks seed dormancy and enhances the recruitment of many …

• Premise of the study: Serotiny (delayed seed release with the consequent accumulation of
a canopy seedbank) confers fitness benefits in environments with crown‐fire regimes. Thus …

Considering intraspecific trait variability (ITV) in ecological studies has improved our
understanding of species persistence and coexistence. These advances are based on the …

Wildfire is a major ecological driver of plant evolution. Understanding the genetic basis of
plant adaptation to wildfire is crucial, because impending climate change will involve fire …

Abstract Background and Aims This study aims to determine the role that both direct effects
of fire and subsequent daily temperature fluctuations play in the seed bank dynamics of …

Intraspecific trait variability plays a fundamental role in community structure and dynamics;
however, few studies have evaluated its relative importance to the overall response of …
