Reemts C. M., Ferrato J. R., Prescribed fires cause minimal damage to a threatened cactus (Tobusch fishhook cactus, Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii, Texas, USA), Journal of Arid Environments, 2021, 185:104380, doi: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2020.104380
Monitoring of more than 600 cacti in Texas before and after two winter prescribed burns. Survival, diameter growth, fruiting and the relationship of damage to plant size and proximity to grasses were assessed. The taxon studied is now accepted as Sclerocactus tobuschii.
