Hypericum Cumulicola Demography In Unoccupied And Occupied Florida Scrub Patches With Different Time-Since-Fire, Pedro Quintana-Ascencio, Rebecca Dolan, Eric Menges

Rebecca W. Dolan

1 Metapopulation models predict that unoccupied, but suitable, patches will exist for species subject to extinction and colonization dynamics. We compared the demographic responses of Hypericum cumulicola, a rare herbaceous species almost entirely restricted to Florida rosemary scrub, when transplanted to occupied or unoccupied patches. 2 Seedlings were transplanted and seeds buried into Florida rosemary scrub patches differing in time since last fire, and in the presence or absence of H. cumulicola. We used a replicated, factorial design to place the transplants and seeds in the field, and monitored their performance for 18 months. 3 Neither time-since-fire nor prior H. …
