Everybody's favorite Facebook troll is at it again.
Last month when Target announced they were doing away with gender-specific signage in their toy and children's bedding sections, Mike Melgaard, self-proclaimed Internet troll, fought back against the angry conservatives posting to the Target Facebook page.
This time, Mike has re-emerged as "Doritos ForHelp" to combat the onslaught of disapproving conservatives flooding the Doritos Facebook page to vent their anger toward the special-edition rainbow-colored chips. The colorful campaign benefits the It Gets Better Project — an organization that encourages gay and lesbian teens who have been victims of bullying.
Just as in the Target scenario, the angry commenters seem to have no clue that Melgaard is not, in fact, an actual representative of Frito-Lay.
Sit back, open a bag of Doritos, and enjoy.

This unit is located on the top floor, SE corner, of a 4-story, 23-unit condominium building with a wraparound balcony off the living room and Master bedroom.Fully stocked and furnished for your vacation!
The 2nd bedroom has a separate balcony with ocean views! The floorplan is split and very private. The unit is quiet except for the sound of ocean waves.

The beach is quiet and family friendly although a short walk to nightlife and great restaurants. The fishing pier is about 6 blocks down the beach, and can be viewed from the balconies. All new windows, doors, railings, updated baths, and bedding. You'll love the location and keep coming back. Nice pool area...
Keywords: Condominium
My sister, Gail, and we (Lynn & Jim) own the condo listing VRBO#115236, which is located on family friendly Jacksonville Beach, Florida. We grew up here and live here, which makes owning a vacation rental easy to manage. We wanted to be able to enjoy the beach ourselves, and share the 'salt life' with others. We found the perfect condo at Beachdrifter, what we feel is an ideal beach location on a quiet stretch of beach and walking distance to the pier, Seawalk Pavilion for concerts, and plenty of restaurants and nightlife...We hope you will find what others have by renting from us, a wonderful getaway from hectic living, and keep coming back to make memories..Give us a try, you will not be sorry!! Sincerely, Lynn McWhirter-Neeson, Gail McWhirter, and Jim Neeson.
Lynn Neeson purchased this condo in 2006
We know there are lots of condos from you to choose from but we feel our unit offers 950 square feet with a desirable floor plan. The bedrooms and baths are split so ideal for 2 couples or families. Each bedroom has its own balcony and bath. We take pride in ensuring your stay is memorable and enjoyable!
Our end unit is located by the stairs if you want to exit quickly and just down the corridor from the elevator. The building is small (23 units) and has many owner occupants which maintains a homelike feel for the property. We replaced our central air conditioning unit Sept 2012, have updated our furnishings in LR and DR (2013) and have flat screens TV's in both bedrooms and LR. We have Wifi access and a nice reading library for you to enjoy.

The location of this condo is perfect. I am originally from this area and I come back often. I have stayed at different condos all along Jax Beach so trust me on the location. It is top corner with views to the south and is close enough to walk to the pier but quiet and not overly crowded. The condo itself needs some maintenance and updating. I had maintenance and housekeeping issues during our stay but did not relay that to the owners until afterward. I was pleasantly surprised to see how quickly they responded to my concerns. Because of the issues I had experienced, I had decided I would not stay here again, but since they responded so quickly and indicated they would remedy the problems and seemed genuinely concerned, I would consider staying again. The pool is nice and clean and the area around it is well kept and best of all, you can see the ocean while standing in the pool area. (Most views are blocked by the dunes). Oddly though, there is no pool furniture at all. A permanent resident told me they were considering doing something about that so hopefully they do. There is an outside bathroom but it needs some serious work. The condo is nice size and the views are spectacular. The beds are comfortable. Surprisingly the large furniture in the living room does not crowd the space. It is actually roomy and comfortable. Do not plan on watching any television here as the tv's are pretty much worthless and you can't get any channels anyway. They do have a dvd player but we didn't try it. There is a bike rental store a couple of blocks away and they are fabulous. They even include bike locks. (Champion Cycling and Fitness) You can bike or walk to tons of restaurants, bars and shops. Even though there is no security here, it is in a pretty safe area. I did have some difficulty getting the garage door opener from the owner but I once I got it, life was good again. Covered parking is usually a deal breaker for me but that might not matter to the average visitor.
We highly recommend this condo. It was perfect for our family of four. The two twin beds in the second bedroom were perfect for our teenaged son and daughter to share. The kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed. We enjoyed the balcony. We picked Jax Beach because my husband is from Jax. It would have been nice to have an extra pair of hand towels to put out for family that visited. It was a great week. Great location! We also appreciated having the beach umbrella and chairs. We'll be back!
This place was perfect for my family of 4. Everything we needed and more was provided. The instructions for everything need updating as it was noted that parking spots were not reserved unless "Reserved" was written, but they were. Also, wifi was not as noted in the house instructions (either that or it wasn't working. We were not too concerned though since we didn't use it much and never contacted the home owner to address it). The linens were great. The appliances were a bit dated, but we didn't cook much and only ran the dish washer once (dishwasher is in sore need of updating). Elevator was key as this condo is on the top floor. Overall wonderful place. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip.
This condo was perfect for us. It was clean and everything we could have needed was available to us. And the location!! What can I say. The views of the ocean as far as you could see (and we could walk), the sounds of the waves and the lovely breeze. Heavenly!! Lynn was so easy to communicate with, very prompt with any questions. I would highly recommend this property. We had a wonderful time.
This condo was a great place to stay for our long weekend. There were four of us staying in Jacksonville to visit relatives, and this place was in the right area to get to different Jax areas. The condo had all the required elements for our stay...the kitchen was equipped properly, the bedrooms were comfortable, the bathrooms were decorated nicely and had enough towels and plenty of hot water. But the best part of the condo was the beach view! The morning sun rose right in front of us and you could see up and down the beach for a long way!
One of our daily to dos was a walk up and down the beach and on the weekends there was plenty going on. Just off the beach near the pier were plenty of bars and restaurants, and we enjoyed a couple of them, especially during happy hour. The condo came with chairs and bogey boards that we used on the beach which is a very short walk from he condo! Being to lay out on the beach and know your place is a short trip away a was a nice feeling.
This rental is in a great location and you can not beat the views. We would definitely use this condo again on future visits to Jacksonville!
PLEASE NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT!!!! MUST PARK IN ASSIGNED PARKING SPOT .Our condo is conveniently located in North Jacksonville Beach, minutes to Atlantic and Neptune Beaches, and Ponte Vedra. Mayo Clinic is a 10 minute drive and is a great place to stay while undergoing testing or treatments. Not too far from UF Health if undergoing Proton Beam Therapy treatments as well. Historic St Augustine is a short and scenice to the south with the Outlets Mall and World Golf Village nearby; Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island is to the north. We are conveniently located for awesome exploring. Don't forget to check out Downtown Jacksonville, the Landing, Riverside Arts Market, and the Town Center Shopping Center, too! We are 5 blocks from the large Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier if you're looking to catch some fish or just stroll out for the view above the ocean. The Seawalk Pavilion is 11 blocks from the condo and is home to festivals, concerts, and events like 4th of July celebration, the Sea and Sky Spectacular Air Show. And, a must have treat is the Acai Bowl from the Delicomb! Come see for yourself what we have to offer! We have a Facebook page--look under Beachdrifter Condominium to see more pictures!!

3 5. SIMPLIFICATIONS 5.1. Introduction Chapters 0, and dealt with element level operations. Sandwiched between element processing and solution there is the assembly process that constructs the master stiffness equations. Assembler examples for special models were given as recipes in the complete programs of Chapters 1 and. In the present chapter assembly will be studied with more generality. The position of the assembler in a DSM-based code for static analysis is sketched in Figure 5.1. In most codes the assembler is implemented as a element library loop driver. This means that instead of forming all elements first and then assembling, the assembler constructs one element at a time in a loop, and immediately merges it into the master equations. This is the merge loop. Model definition data: geometry element connectivity material fabrication freedom activity Assembler K Modify Eqs for BCs ^ K Equation Solver merge loop Element Stiffness Matrices K e Some equation solvers apply BCs and solve simultaneously ELEMENT LIBRARY Figure 5.1. Role of assembler in FEM program. Nodal displacements To postprocessor Assembly is the most complicated stage of a production finite element program in terms of data flow. The complexity is not due to mathematical operations, which merely involve matrix addition, but interfacing with a large element library. Forming an element requires access to geometry, connectivity, material, and fabrication data. (In nonlinear analysis, to the state as well.) Merge requires access to freedom activity data, as well as knowledge of the sparse matrix format in which K is stored. As illustrated in Figure 5.1, the assembler sits at the crossroads of this data exchange. The coverage of the assembly process for a general FEM implementation is beyond the scope of an introductory course. Instead this Chapter takes advantage of assumptions that lead to coding simplifications. This allows the basic aspects to be covered without excessive delay. 5.. Simplifications The assembly process is considerably simplified if the FEM implementation has these properties: All elements are of the same type. For example: all elements are -node plane bars. The number and configuration of degrees of freedom at each node is the same. There are no gaps in the node numbering sequence. There are no multifreedom constraints treated by master-slave or Lagrange multiplier methods. The master stiffness matrix is stored as a full symmetric matrix. 5

If the first four conditions are met the implementation is simpler because the element freedom table described below can be constructed on the fly from the element node numbers. The last condition simplifies the indexing to access entries of K. 5.. Simplified Assemblers In this section all simplifying assumptions listed in 5. are assumed to hold. This allows us to focus on local-to-global DOF mapping. The process is illustrated on a plane truss structure A Plane Truss Example Structure The plane truss shown in Figure 5.(a) will be used to illustrate the details of the assembly process. The structure has 5 elements, nodes and 8 degrees of freedom. The disconnection-to-assembly process is pictured in Figure 5.(b). Begin by clearing all entries of the 8 8 master stiffness matrix K to zero, so that we effectively start with the null matrix: 1 K = (5.1) The numbers written after each row of K are the global DOF numbers. Element (1) joins nodes 1 and. The global DOFs of those nodes are 1 1 = 1, 1 = 1, 1 = and =. See Figure 5.(b). Those four numbers are collected into an array called the element freedom table, or EFT for short. The element stiffness matrix K (1) is listed on 5

7 5. MET ASSEMBLERS 5... Simplified Assembler Implementation Figure 5. shows a a Mathematica implementation of the assembly process just described. This assembler calls the element stiffness module PlaneBarStiffness of Figure 0.. The assembler is invoked by K = SpaceTrussMasterStiffness[nodxyz,elenod,elemat,elefab,prcopt] (5.7) The five arguments: nodxyz, elenod, elemat, elefab, and prcopt have the same function as those described in 1.1. for the SpaceTrussMasterStiffness assembler. In fact, comparing the code in Figure 5. to that of Figure 1.1, the similarities are obvious. Running the script listed in the top of Figure 5. produces the output shown in the bottom of that figure. The master stiffness (5.6) is reproduced. The eigenvalue analysis verifies that the assembled stiffness has the correct rank of 8 = MET Assemblers The next complication occurs when elements of different types are to be assembled, while the number and configuration of degrees of freedom at each node remains the same. This scenario is common in special-purpose programs for analysis of specific problems: plane stress, plate bending, solids. This will be called a multiple-element-type assembler, or MET assembler for short. The only incremental change with respect to the simplest assemblers is that an array of element types, denoted here by eletyp, has to be provided. 5 in bar () 1 in 1 bar () y 5 in 5 1in quad () trig (1) in E (plate, bars) = ksi ν (plate)= 0.5 h (plate) = 0. in A (bars) = sq in 6 in x () 1(1,) () (7,8) 1(1,) (7,8) () (,) (,) (1) Figure 5.5. A plane stress structure used to test a MET assembler. 5(9,10) (5,6) assembly 5(9,10) The assembler calls the appropriate element stiffness module according to type, and builds the local to global DOF mapping accordingly A Plane Stress Assembler This kind of assembler will be illustrated using the module PlaneStressMasterStiffness. As its name indicates, this is suitable for use in plane stress analysis programs. We make the following assumptions: 1 All nodes in the FEM mesh have DOFs, namely the {u x, u y } displacements. There are no node gaps or MFCs. The master stiffness is stored as a full matrix. Element types can be: -node bars, -node linear triangles, ot -node bilinear quadrilaterals. These elements can be freely intermixed. Element types are identified with character strings "Bar", "Trig" and "Quad", respectively. 5 7 (5,6)
8 Chapter 5: THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS As noted above, the chief modification over the simplest assembler is that a different stiffness module is invoked as per type. Returned stiffness matrices are generally of different order; in our case, 6 6 and 8 8 for the bar, triangle and quadrilateral, respectively. But the construction of the EFT is immediate, since node n maps to global freedoms n 1 and n. The technique is illustrated with the -element, 5-node plane stress structure shown in Figure 5.5. It consists of one triangle, one quadrilateral, and two bars. The assembly process goes as follows. Element (1) is a -node triangle with nodes, 5 and, whence the EFT is { 5,6,9,10,7,8 }. The element stiffness is K (1) = (5.8) Element () is a -node quad with nodes,, and 1, whence the EFT is {,,5,6,7,8,1, }. The element stiffness computed with a Gauss rule is K () = (5.9) Element () is a -node bar with nodes 1 and, whence the EFT is { 1,,7,8 }. The element stiffness is K () = (5.10) Element () is a -node bar with nodes 1 and, whence the EFT is { 1,,, }. The element stiffness is K () = (5.11) Upon assembly, the master stiffness of the plane stress structure, printed with one digit after the 5 8

Script for assembling the plane stress model of Figure 5.5 and output results. The script listed in the top of Figure 5.7 runs module PlaneStressMasterStiffness with the inputs appropriate to the problem defined in Figure 5.5. The output shown in the bottom of the figure reproduces the master stiffness matrix (5.1) and the eigenvalues (5.1) MET-VFC Assemblers The next complication beyond multiple element types is a major one: allowing nodes to have different freedom configurations. An assembler that handles this feature will be called a MET-VFC assembler, where VFC is an acronym for Variable Freedom Configuration. A MET-VFC assembler gets closer to what is actually implemented in production FEM programs. A assembler of this kind can handle orientation nodes as well as node gaps automatically. Only two advanced attributes remain: allowing treatment of MFCs by Lagrange multipliers, and handling a sparse matrix storage scheme. The former can be done by an extension of the concept of element. The latter requires major programming modifications, however, and is not considered in this Chapter. The implementation of a MET-VFC assembler requires the definition of additional data structures pertaining to freedoms, at both node and element levels. These are explained in the following subsections before giving a concrete application example Node Freedom Arrangement A key decision made by the implementor of a FEM program for structural analysis is: what freedoms will be allocated to nodes, and how are they arranged? While many answers are possible, we focus 5 10
11 5.5 MET-VFC ASSEMBLERS PackNodeFreedomSignature[s_]:=FromDigits[s,10]; UnpackNodeFreedomSignature[p_,m_]:=IntegerDigits[p,10,m]; NodeFreedomCount[p_]:=DigitCount[p,10,1]; Figure 5.8. Node freedom manipulation utility functions. here on the most common arrangement for a linear three-dimensional FEM program. 1 At each node n three displacements {u xn, u yn, u zn } and three infinitesimal rotations {θ xn,θ yn,θ zn } are chosen as freedoms and ordered as follows: u xn, u yn, u zn, θ xn, θ yn, θ zn (5.15) This is a Node Freedom Arrangement or NFA. Once the decision is made on a NFA, the position of a freedom never changes. Thus if (5.15) is adopted, position # is forever associated to u yn. The length of the Node Freedom Arrangement is called the NFA length and often denoted (as a variable) by nfalen. For the common choice (5.15) of D structural codes, nfalen is Node Freedom Signature Having picked a NFA such as (5.15) does not mean that all such freedoms need to be present at a node. Take for example a model, such as a space truss, that only has translational degrees of freedom. Then only {u xn, u yn, u zn } will be used, and it becomes unnecessary to carry rotations in the master equations. There are also cases where allocations may vary from node to node. To handle such scenarios in general terms a Node Freedom Signature or NFS, is introduced. The NFS is a sequence of zero-one integers. If the j th entry is one, it means that the j th freedom in the NFA is allocated; whereas if zero that freedom is not in use. For example, suppose that the underlying NFA is (5.15) and that node 5 uses the three freedoms {u x5, u y5,θ z5 }. Then its NFS is { 1,1,0,0,0,1 } (5.16) If a node has no allocated freedoms (e.g, an orientation node), or has never been defined, its NFS contains only zeros. It is convenient to decimally pack signatures into integers to save storage because allocating a full integer to hold just 0 or 1 is wasteful. The packed NFS (5.16) would be This technique requires utilities for packing and unpacking. Mathematica functions that provide those services are listed in Figure 5.8. All of them use built-in functions. A brief description follows. p = PackNodeFreedomSignature[s] Packs the NFS list s into integer p. s = UnpackNodeFreedomSignature[p,m] Unpacks the NFS p into a list s of length m, where m is the NFA length. (The second argument is necessary in case the NFS has leading zeros.) k = NodeFreedomCount[p] Returns count of ones in p. 1 This is the scheme used by most commercial codes. In a geometrically nonlinear FEM code, however, finite rotation measures must be used. Consequently the infinitesimal node rotations {θ x,θ y,θ z } must be replaced by something else. NFA positions #7 and beyond are available for additional freedom types, such as Lagrange multipliers, temperatures, pressures, fluxes, etc. It is also possible to reserve more NFA positions for structural freedoms. 5 11

Modules to construct the NFMT from the NFAT, and to compute the total number of freedoms. Example 5.1. PackNodeFreedomSignature[{ 1,1,0,0,0,1 }] returns The inverse is UnpackNodeFreedomSignature[110001,6], which returns { 1,1,0,0,0,1 }. NodeFreedomCount[110001] returns The Node Freedom Allocation Table The Node Freedom Allocation Table, or NFAT, is a node by node list of packed node freedom signatures. In Mathematica the list containing this table is internally identified as nodfat. The configuration of the NFAT for the plane stress example structure of Figure 5.5 is nodfat = { ,110000,110000,110000, } = Table[110000,{ 5 }]. (5.17) This says that only two freedoms: {u x, u y }, are used at each of the five nodes. A zero entry in the NFAT flags a node with no allocated freedoms. This is either an orientation node, or an undefined one. The latter case happens when there is a node numbering gap, which is a common occurence when certain mesh generators are used. In the case of a MET-VFC assembler such gaps are not considered errors The Node Freedom Map Table The Node Freedom Map Table, or NFMT, is an array with one entry per node. Suppose that node n has k 0 allocated freedoms. These have global equation numbers i + j, j = 1,...,k. This i is called the base equation index: it represent the global equation number before the first equation to which node n contributes. Obviously i = 0ifn = 1. Base equation indices for all nodes are recorded in the NFMT. In Mathematica code the table is internally identified as nodfmt. Figure 5.9 lists a module that constructs the NFMT given the NFAT. It is invoked as nodfmt = NodeFreedomMapTable[nodfat] (5.18) The only argument is the NFAT. The module builds the NFMT by simple incrementation, and returns it as function value. The map qualifier comes from the use of this array in computing element-to-global equation mapping. 5 1

Example 5.. The NFAT for the plane truss-frame structure of Figure 5.11 is nodfat = { ,110000, ,000000, }. The node freedom counts are {,,,0, }. The call nodfmt = NodeFreedomMapTable[nodfat] (5.19) returns { 0,,5,8,8 } in nodfmt. This can be easily verified visually: 0+=, 0++=5, etc. Figure 5.9 also lists a function TotalFreedomCount that returns the total number of freedoms in the master equations, given the NFAT as argument The Element Freedom Signature The Element Freedom Signature or EFS is a data structure that shares similarities with the NFAT, but provides freedom data at the element rather than global level. More specifically, given an element, it tells to which degrees of freedom it constributes. The EFS is best described through an example. Suppose that in a general FEM program all defined structural nodes have the signature , meaning the arrangement (5.15). The program includes -node space bar elements, which contribute only to translational degrees of freedom {u x, u y, u z }. The EFS of any such element will be efs = { , } (5.0) For a -node space beam element, which contributes to all six nodal freedoms, the EFS will be efs = { , } (5.1) For a -node space beam element in which the third node is an orientation node: efs = { ,111111, } (5.) This information, along with the NFAT and NFMT, is used to build Element Freedom Tables. 5 1
14 Chapter 5: THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS The Element Freedom Table The Element Freedom Table or EFT has been encountered in all previous assembler examples. It is a one dimensional list of length equal to the number of element DOF. If the i th element DOF maps to the k th global DOF, then the i th entry of EFT contains k. This allows to write the merge loop compactly. In the simpler assemblers discussed in previous sections, the EFT can be built on the fly simply from element node numbers. For a MET-VFC assembler that is no longer the case. To take care of the VFC feature, the construction of the EFT is best done by a separate module. A Mathematica implementation is shown in Figure Discussion of the logic, which is not trivial, is relegated to an Exercise, and we simply describe here the interface. The module is invoked as eft = ElementFreedomTable[enl,efs,nodfat,nodfmt,m] (5.) The arguments are enl The element node list. efs The Element Freedom Signature (EFS) list. nodfat The Node Freedom Allocation Table (NFAT) described in 5.5. nodfmt The Node Freedom Map Table (NFMT) described in 5.5. m The NFA length, often 6. The module returns the Element Freedom Table as function value. Examples of use of this module are provided in the plane trussed frame example below. Remark 5.1. The EFT constructed by ElementFreedomTable is guaranteed to contain only positive entries if every freedom declared in the EFS matches a globally allocated freedom in the NFAT. But it is possible for the returned EFT to contain zero entries. This can only happen if an element freedom does not match a globally allocated one. For example suppose that a -node space beam element with the EFS (5.1) is placed into a program that does not accept rotational freedoms and thus has a NFS of at all structural nodes. Then six of the EFT entries, namely those pertaining to the rotational freedoms, would be zero. The occurrence of a zero entry in a EFT normally flags a logic or input data error. If detected, the assembler should print an appropriate error message and abort. The module of Figure 5.10 does not make that decision because it lacks certain information, such as the element number, that should be placed into the message A Plane Trussed Frame Structure To illustrate the workings of a MET-VFC assembler we will follow the assembly process of the structure pictured in Figure 5.11(a). The finite element discretization, element disconnection and assembly process are illustrated in Figure 5.11(b,c,d). Although the structure is chosen to be plane to facilitate visualization, it will be considered within the context of a general purpose D program with the freedom arrangement (5.15) at each node. The structure is a trussed frame. It uses two element types: plane (Bernoulli-Euler) beam-columns and plane bars. Geometric, material and fabrication data are given in Figure 5.11(a). The FEM idealization has nodes and 5 elements. Nodes numbers are 1,, and 5 as shown in Figure 5.11(b). Node is purposedly left out to illustrate handling of numbering gaps. There are 11 DOFs, three 5 1

I agree with HGL81, it's more likely to be a lifestyle change than nap.It is very rare for a a child under 3 to no longer need to nap (read too many sleep books).
My 3yo girl goes to bed at 7-730. Up around 6am. Has 1.5-3.5 hr nap during the day (usually around 1pm but varies according to what we are doing)
There have been phases when she's been difficult to get to sleep and others have told me to drop the nap- but I need that nap, and we have always riden it out and she goes back to her old routine.
Don't forget daylight saving ends in a month too, so that makes it an hour earlier lol!

1. Australia's savannas typically are burnt every 1-3 years. Although there are concerns about the effect of frequent fire on recruitment of Australian savanna species, there is a lack of information. This research aimed to determine whether seed or microsite availability limits seedling recruitment of the overstorey tree Eucalyptus miniata and the midstorey shrub Acacia oncinocarpa, whether seed or microsite availability is affected by frequent fire, and the consequent effect on seedling recruitment. 2. Quadrats were established in unburnt areas. Experimental manipulations were addition of seed and/or disturbance of the soil surface to increase the number of microsites suitable for germination. In a second experiment, seed was added to quadrats established in three fire regimes after the annual burning event (unburnt, burnt early in the dry season, burnt late in the dry season). 3. In unburnt areas, seedling regeneration was limited by both seed supply and microsite availability. Both burning regimes reduced seedling emergence, possibly because the reduced canopy cover caused unfavourable microclimate, the increased grass and forb ground cover increased competition for resources, and there was increased loss of seed to seed harvesters. 4. The results indicate that sexual regeneration of these common species is disadvantaged by current burning practices because both seed supply and the number of microsites are reduced. Thus, long-term changes in savanna floristic structure seem likely unless fire managers aim to increase the fire-free intervals. The relative abundance of species able to reproduce vegetatively may increase under frequent fire regimes. Such a change may take a long time to detect given the fire-resistant and long-lived nature of overstorey species, and the capacity for vegetative regeneration in many savanna species. The impacts of fire on limiting seedling regeneration will require savanna managers to consider fire-free intervals of several years for effective recruitment of dominant woody species.
