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

“…The potential for long‐term persistence of the canopy tree populations is an open question. A stage‐based population model of the canopy trees was previously developed to address this question, drawing on data from three decades of experimental field studies wherein the survival, growth, and reproduction of individual marked trees were recorded under different seasonal fires and understory types to produce transition matrices among eight life history stages, and used to calculate population growth rates (λ). …”
