Abstract
Response: A commentary on "Eucalyptus obliqua seedling growth in organic vs. mineral soil horizons".
Highlights
Our recent paper (Barry et al, 2015) sought to understand factors limiting the growth of Eucalyptus obliqua seedlings in temperate native forest regeneration
Why do seedlings fail to establish on unburnt litter? We aimed to discern factors— mineral nutrition and soil–fungi interactions—related to eucalypt establishment that might help to explain which components of fire regeneration are critical and which are not
While the density was lower than those coupes with high intensity burns, the seedling density did reach the “desired commercial minimum” stated as 2500 stems ha−1, by year 3 (Neyland et al, 2009). We interpreted this result as showing that in spite of its poor burn, under some suite of conditions which prevailed in coupe WR1B, seedling density could reach the “levels considered necessary for future development of a productive regrowth eucalypt forest,” not that it always would do so
