FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Ambrosia dumosa | White Bursage
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : There is little mention of fire in relation to white bursage in the literature. One study described limited sprouting and seedling establishment after fire [9]. Fires in the desert are infrequent and of low severity because production of annual and perennial herbs seldom provides a fuel load capable of sustaining fire. In the Mojave Desert, there is little record of fires. Humphrey [25] stated that the creosotebush-bursage community is "essentially nonflammable" because the shrubs are too sparse to carry fire. Woody remains of white bursage take about 40 years to decay beyond the point of recognitions [31]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
