FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Poa secunda | Sandberg Bluegrass 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Sandberg bluegrass is generally unharmed by fire.  It produces little
litter, and its small bunch size and sparse litter reduces the amount of
heat transferred to perennating buds in the soil [40].  Its rapid
maturation in the spring also reduces fire damage, since it is dormant
when most fires occur [39].  Sandberg bluegrass cover often increases
when interference from other species is reduced by fire [9].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
