Surviving the fire-trap : resprouting and carbohydrate partitioning of Acacia karroo after topkill

Includes bibliographical references (p. 100-107) === This study investigated the carbon allocation patterns that enable the spindle form of Acacia karroa found in the HluhluweiMfolozi Park, KwaZulu-Natal, to survive repeated and frequent topkill. The central hypotheses were that resprouting is depen...
