Stump sprouting
Definition
An autonomous biological or technical process through which a harvested tree or woody plant reactivates its meristematic tissues at the base of the stem or root collar, generating fresh, vigorous shoots from a stump left in the soil. This structural vegetative regeneration phenomenon allows for the rapid restoration of forest biomass without the need for artificial replanting, serving as an endogenous mechanism of survival and adaptation for deciduous species following radical cuts or wildfires.
