FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Arctostaphylos nevadensis | Pinemat Manzanita 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Fire kills pinemat manzanita [17].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Pinemat manzanita establishes from seed during the first postfire
growing season [17].  It may be an obligate seeder, requiring fire
and/or charred wood lechate to break seed dormancy.  The seed, however,
has not been tested under laboratory or other conditions for such
fire-stimulated germination responses.

Data on postfire density, frequency, or growth rates of pinemat
manzanita seedlings are not available.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
