FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Solidago missouriensis | Prairie Goldenrod 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Prairie goldenrod has good fire tolerance in the dormant state [44]; it
can reproduce by rhizomes or from a caudex [14,19].  Prairie goldenrod
produces numerous small, wind-dispersed seeds [5,19] which can establish
in the open, sunny conditions created by fire.  It may also be an
initial on-site colonizer, since its seeds are found in the seedbank
[34], but no information was available on seed tolerance of heat or
length of seed viability in the seedbank.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
   Caudex, growing points in soil
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
   Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
