SPECIES: Descurainia sophia | Flixweed Tansymustard 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Flixweed tansymustard is readily killed by fire.  It quickly reoccupies
a site by wind-dispersed seed following fire.  It is an important
constituent of early seres on burned juniper woodlands [6].  On many
sagebrush-grassland ranges, flixweed tansymustard dominates a distinct
successional stage in the following sequence [15]:
 
                  1)  Russian thistle  
                  2)  flixweed tansymustard     
                  3)  tumble mustard (Sisymbrium altissimum)
                  4)  cheatgrass                   


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
