FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Taraxacum officinale | Dandelion 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Dandelion is a component of diverse ecosystems in boreal and temperate
regions with variable fire regimes.  Dandelion is primarily adapted to
fire through its prolific production of wind-dispersed seed [123].  Site
colonization after fires occurs in many forested areas because of
dandelion's persistent, viable seedbank [1]. 
  


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
   Caudex, growing points in soil
