To protect or to hide: Why not both? An investigation of fire-related strategies in Cerrado woody species https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0367253023001408

"the plants have evolved two distinct strategies for resprouting from underground buds: #ClonalGrowth associated with a considerable effort to protect aerial branches; and on-spot persistence, possibly linked to a stronger focus on protecting buds in organs below ground"
