FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Potentilla newberryi | Newberry Cinquefoil
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT :
Little has been reported on the effects of fire on Newberry cinquefoil,
and it is not known if this species is typically killed by fire.
DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT :
NO-ENTRY
PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE :
Little is known about the way in which Newberry cinquefoil responds to
fire. Vegetative regeneration has not been reported for this species.
Newberry cinquefoil grows from a nonrhizomatous crown [6], and
resprouting after fire is probably unlikely. Cinquefoils typically
produce an abundance of small wind-dispersed seed [18], and
reestablishment through seed is probable. Recovery time is unknown.
DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE :
NO-ENTRY
FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS :
NO-ENTRY
