1) Species growing in fire-prone savannas usually persist by resprouting from their buds. In this study, we evaluated how various persistence traits allow bud protection for improved survival in fire-prone ecosystems. 2) Using an integrative morphological and macroanatomical approach, we analyzed how woody plants protect their buds. We tested bud protection at the community level and evaluated: a) how bud protection changes along a fire frequency gradient, b) if it differs between shrubs and trees and c) whether the level of bud protection is related to post-fire responses of 28 woody savanna species. 3) A mix of traits involving bud protection may enable woody species persistence in fire-prone ecosystems. Savanna species better protected...
