“…The crucial role of the bud bank in regeneration after disturbances has been documented in various environments (Latzel et al 2008;Klimes˘ová and Klimeš 2007). Vegetative regeneration from the bud bank can vary with the vertical distribution of buds, the type of plant organ, the phenological stage, the nutrient availability, and the severity of disturbances (Martínková et al 2004;Klimes˘ová and Klimeš 2007). Our results also showed that growth rates were substantially reduced after passage through the shredder, as compared to control fragments.…”

“…Below-ground perennial bud banks were associated with nutrient poor substrate, and seasonal, above-ground bud banks were more represented in rich substrate sites. Several studies have addressed the question of bud banks in relation to responses of plants to disturbance (Benson et al 2004;Klimešová and Klimeš 2007;Dalgleish and Hartnett 2009), but few have studied the relationships between bud banks and resource availability. In our study, it was not possible to assess whether bud bank densities varied with soil properties, but in agreement with patterns observed in other studies (Dalgleish and Hartnett 2006), we hypothesized that the capacity to sprout determined by the number of buds would be larger under more favorable conditions for growth.…”

“…The bud bank, i.e., the population of dormant meristems (Harper 1977), is an important determinant of the capacity of a plant to re-sprout in seasonal climates and after disturbance (Klimešová and Klimeš 2007). However, also in this case, it appears to be the interplay between plant traits and the abiotic environment that determines the potential role of below-ground bud banks.…”

Do Clonal and Bud Bank Traits Vary in Correspondence with Soil Properties and Resource Acquisition Strategies? Patterns in Alpine Communities in the Scandian Mountains

et al. 2010

Plant traits associated with resource acquisition strategies (specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf size and plant height) change along gradients of soil properties, being the most conservative in a resource-poor environment and the most dynamic in a resource-rich environment. Clonal attributes also vary along soil and other environmental conditions. We hypothesized that in alpine communities in the Scandian Mts. (1) the average composition of traits in a plant assemblage in terms of i) the predominance of different clonal growth organ types, ii) the number of buds in the bud bank, iii) the distribution of the bud-bank (above-and below ground), iv) the distance of lateral spread and v) the longevity of plant -offspring connections would change along a gradient of soil properties and (2) that this variation would be in correspondence with that of traits associated with resource acquisition strategies (SLA, LDMC, leaf size and plant height). Analysis of clonal and bud bank traits for species of alpine communities supported our first hypothesis: with decreasing soil quality the most common clonal growth organs were rhizomes, and there was a predominance of perennial bud banks located at the soil surface or below-ground, low rates of lateral spread and long persistence of plant -offspring connections. Our second hypothesis was partly supported. As predicted, at the level of the plant assemblage, these clonal and bud bank traits were positively associated with LDMC, and negatively with leaf size and plant height. These observations reinforce the hypotheses about trade-offs between acquisition and retention strategies in plants. The only result that was in contradiction with our expectations was the lack of correspondence between clonal and bud bank traits and SLA that could be attributed to errors associated to Folia Geobot (2011) 46:237-254 DOI 10.1007

“…Almost all plant species produce and maintain vegetative buds belowground, aboveground, or both (Klimešová and Klimeš 2007). But, the size of the bud bank can vary both within and among species, and plant communities (Lehtila 2000).…”

In perennial grassland dominated systems, belowground bud banks regulate plant community dynamics. Plant community responses to disturbance are largely driven by the ability to generate future aboveground growth originating from belowground axillary buds. This study examined bud bank dynamics for Bouteloua gracilis, Hesperostipa comata, and Pascopyrum smithii following fire in northwestern mixed-grass prairie in eastern Montana, USA. Belowground axillary buds were counted and classified for three growing seasons to determine immediate and short-term effects of summer, fall, and spring prescribed burns on patterns of bud bank activity, dormancy, and mortality. Prescribed burns did not result in immediate mortality of B. gracilis, H. comata, or P. smithii buds. Surprisingly, spring prescribed burns immediately increased the number of active B. gracilis buds. Summer fire, however, reduced B. gracilis active bud numbers. Fall burns immediately activated P. smithii buds, whereas fire did not influence any immediate bud dynamics for H. comata. Reduced bud numbers of H. comata may limit the ability to respond to fire. Season of fire directly manipulated bud activity, dormancy, and mortality for these species throughout the growing and dormant seasons following fire. Using season of fire to manipulate bud bank dynamics illustrates potential to improve post-fire management strategies based on known bud development trajectories and bud dynamics following fire.
