FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Aesculus californica | California Buckeye 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Plant adaptations:  California buckeye sprouts from the root crown after
aboveground portions of the plant have been damaged [5,28].  Seeds would
probably not survive fire because they are highly susceptible to
desiccation by heat [8].  Seed is often transported by water and could
be carried to a burn site in that manner [13].

Fire ecology:  Early leaf fall results in accumulation of dry litter
around the plant early in the fire season.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   survivor species;  on-site surviving root crown or caudex
   off-site colonizer;  seed carried by animals or water; postfire yr 1&2
   secondary colonizer;  off-site seed carried to site after year 2
