Abstract:Savanna-forest transition under fi re-exclusion could be explained by diff erential competitive performance of savanna and forest species under shading/fi re-exclusion. Aiming to understand strategies related to either habitat affi nity, we investigated spatial patterns of a savanna and a forest species in a fi re-protected savanna. We predicted that: savanna species would have lower abundance than the forest species due to a restriction in the number of open microsites; segregation of size classes and a trend… Show more
