TL;DR: Assessment of the impacts of novel disturbance interactions between wildfire and SOD on the belowground survival and vegetative reproduction of resprouters suggests legacies maintained by resprouting may be more resilient to certain compounded disturbances, compared to seed-obligate species, because of high rates of individual survival under increasingly severe events.
