improve: After disturbance, trees that are severely damaged either die and regenerate from seed (non-sprouters) or recover through resprouting (sprouters) (NAME_1 and NAME_2, 2003). Sprouters can also produce seeds, but non-sprouters are obligate seeders and rely exclusively on seed production for regeneration (NAME_1 and NAME_2, 2001; NAME_3 NAME_4, 2008). The ability to resprout is common among many tree species, especially angiosperms (NAME_5 et NAME_6., 2012; NAME_7 et NAME_6., 2013), and has been traditionally used in coppicing, however, the relative importance of sprouts and seedlings in naturally regenerating disturbed forests has been rarely assessed.
