IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT:

Aboveground parts of Utah serviceberry may be killed or consumed under fire conditions with sufficient flame lengths. Utah serviceberry may be slightly harmed by fire, depending on moisture conditions [9], but is generally considered to be fire tolerant [33].

DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT:

No entry

PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE:

Utah serviceberry sprouts from the root crown in response to fire [7,8,9,13,28].

DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE:

No entry

FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS:

The literature does not report high fire-caused mortality for Utah serviceberry. If fire exclusion leads to increased shade, Utah serviceberry is likely to decrease.

Heavy litter accumulations may increase the likelihood of fire-caused mortality in Utah serviceberry [10].
