FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Carex vaginata | Sheathed Sedge 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Since sheathed sedge reproduces vegetatively [7,9], it probably sprouts
from rhizomes after aerial portions are burned.  Sheathed sedge is
long-rhizomed, and has a rather diffuse growth form [7].  However, where
thicker tufts form, they may protect basal buds from fire damage.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
   Tussock graminoid
