FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Bouteloua barbata var. barbata | Sixweeks Grama 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Plants actively growing when consumed by fire are killed.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Because seeds survive burning, fire has little effect on sixweeks grama.
When favorable conditions for germination occur (warm temperatures and
moist soil), surviving seeds germinate.  Thus precipitation during the
summer following burning largely determines the response of summer
annuals in the Southwest [30].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
