In the Example of Competition Dynamics with Longleaf Pine (Pinus

In the example of competition dynamics with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) and other woody plants, fire suppression

A) caused increases in important herbivore predators of longleaf pine.
B) allowed the persistence of superior competing species that would otherwise be eliminated by fire.
C) allowed increased growth of wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana) .
D) decreased germination of longleaf pine, which requires heat from fire.
