Fire return intervals and recruitment affect population growth rate of canopy trees in tall open forest in humid savanna by Patricia A. Werner, Stephanie J. Peacock

“…Uniquely, under certain conditions, there was also a maximum fire return interval above which λ <1, creating a “window” of fire return intervals that allowed canopy tree populations to persist. Mechanisms underpinning results as well as implications for savanna structure, alternate states, cyclical dynamics, future research, and management by fire are discussed.…”
