Resprouting as a persistence strategy of tropical forest trees: relations with carbohydrate storage and shade tolerance

Resprouting is an important persistence strategy for woody species and represents a dominant pathway of regeneration in many plant communities, with potentially large consequences for vegetation dynamics, community composition, and species coexistence. Most of our knowledge of resprouting strategies...
