FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Trifolium repens | White Clover
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Information regarding white clover survival following fire is lacking in
the literature. White clover is probably a decreaser following fire
since most of its growing parts are above ground and fire would quickly
defoliate these aboveground parts [3]. White clover probably
regenerates following fire via soil-stored seed. It may also sprout
from the taproot and/or caudex [19,23].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
Surface rhizome/chamaephytic root crown
Caudex, growing points in soil
