Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting shrub nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Under drought, burned plants had ⬆️prob. of flowering, produced +flowers, set +seeds & heavier seeds, than unburned Saiz-Blanco et al @oikosjournal.bsky.social 🧪🌍🔥🌿🪴🌾🌱 Anthyllis

One of the graphics of the paper on Anthyllis cytisoides resprouiting after drought, showing model predictions and observations of the data analysed in 2022 and 2023; fire occurred in 2021. For flowering and fruiting, the negative effects of drought are stronger on unburned plants (A and C). Burned plants produced nearly four times more flowers than unburned plants (B), and had a higher seed set and heavier seeds than unburned plants in both years (D and E).
