FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Corydalis sempervirens | Pink Corydalis
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Pink corydalis is favored by fire. Its long-lived, fire-resistant seeds
are stored in the soil seed bank, and germinate following fire
[1,2,6,8,12,13,18,23,24]. Viable seed was found in an 80-year-old
spruce-pine stand in Alberta [8]. The plant grows quickly and rapidly
takes up nutrients made available after fire [23].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
Secondary colonizer - on-site seed
Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
