Method synopsis

Annual censuses tracking individual plants through life stages and post-fire habitat succession states to quantify fire-adapted demographic processes.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Demographic consequences of changes in environmental periodicity (2023), Ecology. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Dewy pine population censuses
   Conducted annual censuses of dewy-pine populations in three sites representing different disturbance types: human-disturbed (heavy persistent browsing), Sierra Retin A (36°10'N, 5°51'W, natural with little browsing), and Sierra Retin B (36°11'N, 5°49'W). Recorded transitions among life stages: seedling (SD), juvenile (J), small reproductive (SR), and large reproductive (LR) individuals. Characterized post-fire habitat succession states as time-since-fire (TSF₀ to TSF>₃).
   Quantities: 9 annual censuses between April 2011 and April 2019, three sites in southern SpainDuration: Annual censuses over 8 yearsConditions: Mediterranean heathland sites in southern Spain, different fire disturbance histories

Output Measurements

• survival probability
• flowering probability
• seed germination
• life stage transitions
