FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Potentilla newberryi | Newberry Cinquefoil 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Very little information exists on the potential adaptations of Newberry
cinquefoil to fire.  Response of individual species of cinquefoil
apparently differ, and it is difficult to make general conclusions
concerning the ways in which this highly variable genus responds to
fire.  Fire is probably rare or nonexistent at many of the more mesic
sites occupied by Newberry cinquefoil.  However, at some of the more
xeric sagebrush and juniper woodland sites, fire probably occurs at
least occasionally.
