FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Erythronium grandiflorum | Glacier Lily 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
The top portion of glacier lily is killed by fire.  Usually, the top
is withered by the time of the summer dry season [10].



DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Glacier lily sprouts from the corm in first postfire growing season
[28].  Most likely, a fire would destroy the year's seed, preventing
new plant establishment during the first postfire year [31].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
Glacier lily is fire resistant, but frequent fires would probably
suppress the species by eliminating the seed crop.
