[edit] Summary

Description	Fire Ecology / Biotic adaptations and responses / A. Plants / ii. fire tolerant plants Typical regrowth of eucalypt trees (Eucalyptus cypellocarpa), 15 months after a bushfire has gone through the Grampians National Park in Southeast Australia. The smaller trees (thinner stem and twigs) have not survived the bushfire, while the larger trees (thicker stem and twigs) have survived. Because the small twigs in the crown of the tree have also been burned, the trees had to sprout at a different spot, this has resulted in massive resprouting along the base of the tree, instead of in the crown. The inset clearly shows this resprouting of the tree over the whole length of the stem.
