FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Arctostaphylos glandulosa | Eastwood Manzanita
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Plant adaptations: Eastwood manzanita sprouts from the lignotuber after aboveground portions of the plant have burned [7,14,18,19,20,44]. It also regenerates by fire-stimulated germination of dormant soil-stored seed [21]. Fire ecology: Eastwood manzanita produces more ground litter than most chaparral shrubs. Kittredge [24] has measured its litter volume at 1.1 tons per acre (2.5 t/ha) per year. The leaves, twigs, and fruits contain flammable resins [6]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
