Canopy seed bank dynamics and optimum fire regime for the highly serotinous shrub, Banksia hookeriana

Abstract excerpt

1. Banksia hookeriana is a serotinous nonsprouting shrub restricted to the fire-prone northern sandplain scrub-heaths of Western Australia. Evidence of the natural fire frequency to which the species is best adapted was sought through analysis of its seed demography using a computer model of canopy seed bank dynamics based on field data. 2. Plants began flowering at 3-years of age but storage of viable seeds in th...
