H arvey & H olzman, in this issue of the J ournal of V egetation S cience , describe divergent successional pathways after fire in P inus muricata forest. Fourteen years after fire, the shrub C eanothus thyrsiflorus had occupied flat parts of the area. They predicted it would continue to prevent succession to P . muricata forest, as in the initial floristic composition concepts of C lements and E gler.
