... sorry, my previous email (below) should have said "there is little
evidence that plant species in Mediterranean-type climates (e.g.
south-western and south-eastern Australia) HAVE traits that are adapted to
fire."

Regards,
Stephen

>From a botanical perspective, the authors of the following article propose
that, contrary to widespread opinion, there is little evidence that plant
species in Mediterranean-type climates (e.g. south-western and south-eastern
Australia) do not have traits that are adapted to fire.

Bradshaw, S.D., Dixon, K.W., Hopper, S.D., Lambers, H & Turner, S.R. (2011).
Little evidence of fire-adapted plant traits in Mediterranean climate
regions. Trends in Plant Science: 16(2): 69-76.

A pdf copy of this paper can be downloaded from the following link provided
by one of the authors:
http://userwww.sfsu.edu/parker/bio821/papers/BradshawEtAlNoFireAdapt.pdf

It is important to note that this paper does not discuss adaptive traits of
plants in northern and central Australia, so their conclusions should not
necessarily be applied to plant species in those parts of the continent.

Kind regards,
Stephen
