FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS:

Crested wheatgrass burns quickly and is therefore less susceptible to fire damage than some bunchgrass species [32]. In especially thick bunchgrasses, the fire may stay longer in the culms, resulting in heat transfer to the ground and the death of the plant. In crested wheatgrass, there is usually little heat transfer into the soil, so the tillers and root system are usually undamaged [107].

POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY:

Tussock graminoid
