Repeated observations of permanent plots and transects are used to evaluate adaptive responses of individual species and communities of perennial plants following fires that occurred in 1974. Positive adaptations are common, but are weakly developed. Recovery is taking place, but at a very slow rate. Several decades, at least, will be required for full recovery.
