• Label: Post-fire resprouting capacity
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0030610
• Type: categorical
• Definition: A fire response trait which indicates whether mature [PATO:0001701] plants [PO:0000003] from a taxon [NCIT:C40098] or population [PCO:0000001] are killed or have vegetative meristematic tissue [PO:0006079] (buds [PO:0000055]) that resprout [Cerrado:fire#PlantResprout] following a fire [ENVO:01000786] that causes 100% leaf scorch, with fire severity index [EnvThes:22120] an important contextual variable.;Trait indicating whether mature individuals of a taxon are killed, resprout, or have a mixed survival response when exposed to fire that causes 100% leaf scorch. Species where at least 70% of plants resprout are designated `resprouters`, while those where fewer than 30% of plants resprout are designated as `fire killed`. Species with an intermediate response have a mixed fire response, and are coded as `fire_killed resprouts`.
• Additional comments: This trait is narrowly applicable only to taxa that experience fire; see the trait `fire_exposure_level` for trait values related to species whose strategy is to avoid fire.
• Allowed values:

  value	description
  fire_killed	Fewer than 30% of plants resprout following a fire with 100% leaf scorch. (Synonyms, fire-sensitive)
  partial_resprouting	Between 30-70% of plants resprout following a fire with 100% leaf scorch.
  resprouts	More than 70% of plants resprout following a fire with 100% leaf scorch.
