Fig. 1. Predicted
extinction probability (in 99 years, starting postfire with 7000
dormant seeds) for the endangered perennial herb Eryngium cuneifolium
in rosemary scrub at Archbold Biological Station, as a function of
fire return interval. Each triangle summarizes 3000 replicate
stochastic simulations.
Map [b]. Distribution of
Hypericum cumulicola and natural gaps in rosemary-oak scrub on a xeric
ridge in Archbold’s West Section. Each individual H. cumulicola was
sampled for isozyme variation in 2000, before a wildfire burned the
entire site on 12 February 2001; map by Roberta Pickert.
