IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT:

Mesa dropseed is damaged by fire [48], but its susceptiblity relative to other grasses, and its period of recovery, are poorly understood. Research is badly needed on fire's effects on mesa dropseed.

DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT:

PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE:

DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE:

No entry

FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

Prescribed fire can be used to control the invasion of broom snakeweed, creosotebush, and young mesquite. Since shrub density in these communities is often low, abundance of mesa dropseed and other grasses must be adequate to carry a fire [48].
