FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Thalictrum dioicum | Early Meadowrue 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Fire effects have not been studied in this plant.  It is probably
top-killed by fire.  Any aboveground stolons also would be killed.
Spring burning would have the greatest impact on this species, since it
would kill the seeds that mature in June.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 



PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
The abundance of early meadowrue would be severely reduced immediately
postfire.  Since this species reproduces both vegetatively and sexually,
long-term postfire recovery should be fairly successful.  Off-site
regeneration is possible but anticipated to be slow, since seed is not
wind dispersed.  Fire severity and rooting depth of the caudex controls
its recovery.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
