Title:	Resprouting of 46 Florida scrub species in relation to fire intensities, burn season, and habitat
Alternate Identifier:	DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:	We measured responses in 46 species of resprouting plants of Florida scrub and related habitats at Archbold Biological Station following 15 single fires from 2006-2012. Resprouting species were grouped into seven species groups and four habitat types. Burns occurred during either the wet, dry or fire season as defined by Platt et al. 2015. Fire temperatures and residence times were recorded using HOBO data loggers at the base of each marked plant. Survival and growth measures were recorded pre- and for up to eight years post-fire. Fires had variable intensities with maximum temperatures ranging from 47-890 degrees C (mean 549 degrees C) and residence times ranging from 0-83 minutes (mean ten). Consumed plants experienced higher fire intensity than scorched plants, and residence times were higher during the fire season and with drier conditions. Across all species affected by fire, 86% of plants survived and resprouted post-fire. First year survival was unrelated to fire variables with high survival across all maximum temperatures and residence times. Burn season, habitat, and species group did not significantly affect survival. On average across all species, post-fire growth recovered to pre-fire heights within four years. RGR was significantly affected by species group and burn season. Herbs and palmettos recovered relatively rapidly. Recovery was slowest during the fire season, and fastest after burns conducted in the fire season. Resprouting perennial plants that dominate Florida scrub and surrounding habitats appear resilient to a wide range of fire intensities, as measured by maximum temperatures and residence times. Post-fire growth was rapid, with recovery of pre-fire heights in four years. Species groups varied in post-fire recovery rates. In these habitats, fire is critical to maintain the habitat structure for many animals and plants, including many rare species. The slower recovery of biomass for some species like oaks, results in the longer availability of gaps for these rare species. In addition, variability in post-fire survival and growth among species groups likely contributes to the persistence of species diversity and complexity across habitats. However, variation in fire intensity will have little effect on species composition and habitat structure. A range of fire regimes can be used in management without having major impacts on resprouting plants in Florida scrub and related vegetation.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package

Description:

In 15 management units slated for burning during our study, we randomly established 15 60-m transects, one for each unit to be burned. Each transect was located in a single habitat type. Transects were located at least 10 m from firelanes, roads, or other human-created features. We then used stratified random selection to select an individual plant of each resprouting species present, one per 5 m along the transect and within 1 m of the transect (if a plant was available). Selected plants were marked with an aluminum tag secured to a stake flag. Since most resprouting species are clonal, we defined an individual as a group of stems or clump of graminoids within 15 cm of each other. On each transect, we aimed for 5-10 replicates per species, for a maximum of 60 plants per transect.

For each plant, we measured standing height, maximum crown length and perpendicular width (all to the nearest cm) and counted the number of stems or clumps. We collected these data prior to a fire, six months post-fire and then annually for up to eight years thereafter.

On the day of the fire, we confirmed that marked plants were still alive. Fire temperatures were recorded with HOBO temperature dataloggers buried 10 cm belowground, leaving thermocouple leads at ground level at the base of each plant (Type K thermocouple logger part H12002, Onset Computer Corporation, Bourne, MA), set to 2-sec logging intervals. After the fire, we retrieved the dataloggers and scored each plant for fire severity (unburned, scorched (leaves blackened but parts remaining), or consumed (all leaves consumed). With the raw data from each datalogger, we calculated the maximum temperature and maximum one-minute mean temperature. Residence time was calculated by totaling the number of seconds above 60 degrees C.
