FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Lolium perenne | Perennial Ryegrass
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
As with most perennial grasses, perennial ryegrass is well adapted to
fire. It is top-killed and will sprout quickly from the rhizome. Fire
is beneficial to grass swards; by removing litter, it allows more light
to penetrate to the leaf bases and new tillers [59].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Tussock graminoid
Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
