Professor Davis and his research team will examine observed                patterns of chaparral vegetation in California and will relate the              patterns observed to the processes by which vegetation recovers from            fire.  Two theories and models of the recovery process currently exist:         one contends that vegetation recovers via random establishment of               individual plants; the other contends that pre-fire patterns of seed            assemblages and sprouts govern the revegetative process.  In addition           to analyzing pre- and post-fire patterns from other burned areas, the           investigators will conduct a controlled burn in order to document pre-          burn vegetation and seed assemblages, fire behavior, and post-burn seed         assemblages and establishment patterns.                                              This project will yield important insight into revegetation                processes in fragile ecosystems.  It will increase our understanding of         environmental responses to natural and human-induced disturbances.
