może jest jaka¶ ładniejsza nazwa, ale o to chodzi
While immediate post-fire establishment does occur, the importance of this period to spruce development may depend on mast years (periodic years of high seed crops) occurring while burned seedbeds are still suitable for germination. Mast years have occurred every 3 to 5 years in Alberta since 1941, and are highly synchronized throughout the province.

) Mast years occur every 3-4 years. For poorly understood reasons, oaks in an entire region will collectively "decide" to produce a large crop of acorns that year. Winter temperatures may have some effect, but other factors also appear to be at work. The evolutionary benefit of this strategy is obvious to most ecologists, but the mechanism is not.
