FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Sonchus arvensis | Perennial Sowthistle 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Perennial sowthistle populations probably resist fire because buried
seeds and vegetative buds on rhizomes are protected from fire by soil.
Perennial sowthistle may expand its range with rapid dispersal of seeds
onto recently burned sites.  However, if fire enhances growth of native
vegetation which competes with perennial sowthistle, perennial
sowthistle may decrease after fire.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
   Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
