FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Scolochloa festucacea | Whitetop 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Whitetop resists fire by sprouting from rhizomes.  It occurs on sites
that most often experience fire in late summer or early fall when no
longer flooded.  Fire benefits whitetop stands by removing excess litter
which suppresses whitetop growth [37].  Fire may also create openings in
other plant communities, allowing whitetop to establish [44].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
