Moderate wildfire severity favors seed removal by granivores in a Mexican pine forest by Cadena-Zamudio DA, Cadena-Iñiguez J, Aguirre-Medina JF, Cadena-Zamudio JD, Arispe-Vázquez JL, Barrera-Guzmán LA, Ayvar-Serna S, Díaz-Nájera JF

“…Our results showed a higher seed removal by vertebrates (birds and rodents) in the wildfire moderate severity treatment and in the time elapsed since wildfire occurrence; however, excluding vertebrates decreased the seed removal rate after the fire. Therefore, moderate-severity sites are an important factor in the communities of granivores that influence seed removal patterns in the temperate forest of Veracruz, Mexico. …”
