Abstract

population density

recovery

seed dispersal

Wildfires burned across permanently-marked study plots placed in a low elevation, small, isolated rock buckwheat Eriogonum sphaerocephalum stand three times between 1983 and 2001. With the passage of each wildfire, the number of buckwheat shrubs diminished until there were no living shrubs. Self-recovery of buckwheat by natural seed dispersal will likely be a slow process.
