Abstract
Pityopsis graminifolia ramets were found at a lower density in two year old tree gaps than in surrounding undisturbed habitat. Additionally, ramets found outside tree gaps in "not-recently burned" or winter burned sites were larger, produced more tillers and were more likely to bolt.Suggested Citation
