FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Scirpus acutus | Hardstem Bulrush 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Hardstem bulrush sprouts from rhizomes following fire [65,66].  After a
prescribed fire in the Great Salt Lake Marsh, Utah, on September 2,
1981, hardstem bulrush sprouts were 1.6 feet (0.5 m) tall before winter
freeze-up [68].  This fire occurred during an extended drought.
Postfire regeneration included germination from buried seed [65], and
probably also germination of off-site seed dispersed by wind and water.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
   Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
   Secondary colonizer - on-site seed
   Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
