FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Maianthemum stellatum | Starry Solomon's Seal 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Fire will consume all aboveground parts of starry Solomon's seal.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Starry Solomon's seal is moderately resistant to fire-kill.  It may,
however, be killed by fire that removes the duff layer and heats the
upper mineral layer [5].  In northern Idaho, starry Solomon's seal cover
percentage was reduced the first growing season after a
moderate-severity fire.  It regained or surpassed all preburn
frequencies by the fourth growing season [14].  Following prescribed
burning in northern pin oak (Quercus ellipsoidalis) in central
Minnesota, the average frequency value on burned sites (15.5) was higher
than on unburned sotes (11.0) [30].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
