Table 2 Results from regressions of volume of resprouting stems and estimated pre-fire size (summed diameter of burnt stems), and correlations of mean height growth with mean stem density and mean stem diameter for clumps of resprouting stems for resprouting species in Florida, USA, in 2009. Stem density and stem diameters were not measured for palmettos, which have belowground stems.
