FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Elymus lanceolatus | Thickspike Wheatgrass 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Thickspike wheatgrass is a fire-tolerant species.  Plants remain green
throughout much of the summer.  Since they are low growing, they are
less of a fire hazard than taller species.  After planned
sagebrush-grassland fires, plants soon spread and dominate the ground
cover [40].  Fire probably stimulates these rhizomatous plants to
initiate new shoots at primordial regions of the root system [20].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
