FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Glycyrrhiza lepidota | Wild Licorice
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT :
Wild licorice is probably top-killed by fire. At the Woodworth Station
in North Dakota, a mixed-grass prairie was burned in May 1970 to
determine the effect of fire on wildlife populations. Wild licorice was
a component of the prairie that was burned. During postfire year 1,
wild licorice was reported as showing "no change" in percent cover, that
is, cover change was between +99% and -49% [21]. In North Dakota, a
bluegrass-sweetclover prairie containing wild licorice was burned in
1964; the following year, herbage production on burned and unburned
plots was comparable [15].
DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT :
NO-ENTRY
PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE :
Wild licorice probably sprouts from rhizomes following fire.
DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE :
NO-ENTRY
FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS :
NO-ENTRY
