FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Clintonia uniflora | Queencup Beadlily 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Queencup beadlily is typically top-killed by fire.  High-severity fires
may lead to the total destruction of the plant.  Miller and Miller [21]
reported it to be absent from sample sites during 4 years of study
following wildfires in North Cascades National Park, Washington.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Although no information is available for queencup beadlily specifically,
it usually decreases following fire.  The postfire environment is not
thought to be suitable for rapid recovery of queencup beadlily [9].  A
queencup beadlily ecosystem in British Columbia steadily increased in
percent cover following fire, leveling off about 9 years after the burn
[13].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
