Resprouters are plant species that are able to survive fire by the activation of dormant vegetative buds to produce regrowth.[1]
Plants may resprout from a bud bank that can be located in different places, including in the trunk or major branches (epicormic shoots) or in belowground structures like lignotubers, bulbs, and other structures.[2]
Resprouters characterize chaparral, fynbos, kwongan, savanna and other landscapes that experience periodic fires.
