FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Montia diffusa | Branching Montia
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Information regarding the ecological adaptations of branching montia for
survival following fire is not available in the literature.
Miner's-lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata), a closely related species,
colonizes sites following fire by long-lived seeds that are stored in
the soil. Miner's-lettuce also mass-flowers in the first postfire
years, allowing for secondary colonization by on-site seed [9].
Branching montia often occurs in burned or otherwise disturbed
confierous forests [11], and may have similar postfire reproductive
patterns.
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
NO-ENTRY
