These results (higher #precocity in higher #fire activity areas; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oik.09373) have a direct application in #restoration: selecting #seeds from populations with high fire activity would increase the #resilience capacity of the restored woodland to face the increasing fire frequency. This may be more relevant than collecting seeds in typical high quality seed sites

#Fire selects sexual #precocity in pines! https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oik.09373
Populations of #Pinus halepensis (a #serotinous #pines), subjected to higher frequency of crown fires (short fire interval) produce cones at younger ages than those pops that rarely #burnt
Being precocious in fireprone environments is adaptive because it increases the probability of having a significant seed bank for regeneration when the next fire arrives
