Interesting paper suggesting that #European #broadleaved #forests originated from #fire-driven #savannas; the prevalence of #resprouting species is a legacy; shade-tolerance & winter-deciduous are #exaptations

i.e. forests are an alternative state (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2019.11.003)

Note that many South American forests were also savannas, (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-27749-9)

Food for thought!
