Abstract
The adaptive traits which enable natural vegetation to withstand destruction of their aerial parts differ with species and their natural environment. In this paper the vegetative reproduction traits of a number of woody perennial species in the Katherine-Darwin region are examined in relation to natural damage agencies, particularly fire. The ecological significance of these traits and their significance to land use management are discussed.
