FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Andropogon gerardii var. paucipilus | Sand Bluestem
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Native warm-season grasses, such as sand bluestem, are generally
considered to be tolerant of fire if burned when dormant [18,49]. The
well-developed rhizomes of sand bluestem are apparently deep enough in
the soil to be protected from the damaging effects of grassland fires.
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Survivor species; on-site surviving rhizomes
