FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Lewisia rediviva | Bitterroot
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Because bitterroot is usually dormant in summer and early fall, it
escapes most wildfires. Bitterroot probably colonizes burn areas from
wind-blown seed, but such a regeneration strategy has not been
documented in the literature.
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Caudex, growing points in soil
Geophyte, growing points deep in soil
Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
