FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Sporobolus wrightii | Big Sacaton 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Big sacaton sprouts after top-kill [6,53].  Burning may stimulate leaf
production.  The ability of big sacaton to recover after fire depends on
the extent of root crown removal by fire [14].  The greatest potential
for natural fire occurs when lightning strike frequency peaks in early
summer [14].  Big sacaton is best adapted to summer fires.  Fall and
spring burning may have long-term negative effects [56].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tussock graminoid
