• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0030652
• Type: categorical
• Definition: A fire response trait which is the magnitude [NCIT:C49158] of seed [PO:0009010] germination [GO:0009845] and seedling establishment [EnvThes:20410] after a fire [ENVO:01000786].;A trait indicating the magnitude of seed germination and seedling establishment following a fire.
• Additional comments: This trait does not suggest what mechanism(s) is triggering post-fire recruitment, but only that a post-fire response is (or is not) observed. There are several fire-related context properties that should be documented whenever possible, including fire severity (most important), fire season, and fire frequency. In addition, the time from fire to recruitment will vary greatly across systems, and, when available, a basic habitat description should be documented as a location property.
• Allowed values:

  value	description
  post_fire_recruitment	Plants that germinate post-fire.
  post_fire_recruitment_absent	Plants that do not show increased seeding following fire.
