FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Acer pensylvanicum | Striped Maple 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
No information was found in the literature concerning fire effects on
striped maple.  Crown fire that burns only the upper canopy of a
deciduous forest presumably has little effect on striped maple, because
it never reaches the upper canopy.  Crown fire can create partial
openings in a stand, ideal for striped maple recruitment [2,4,15].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Striped maple probably sprouts from the root crown after fire [6].
Information regarding postfire establishment of striped maple is lacking
in the literature.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
