What drives grassland‐forest boundaries? Assessing fire and frost effects on tree seedling survival and architecture
Abstract Fire and frost represent two major hurdles for the persistence of trees in open grassy biomes and have both been proposed as drivers of grassland‐forest boundaries in Africa. We assess the response of young tree seedlings, which represent a vulnerable stage in tree recruitment, to traumatic...
