FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Artemisia papposa | Fuzzy Sagebrush
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Little is known about adaptations of fuzzy sagebrush to fire. Resprouting or other types of vegetative response have not been documented, and reestablishment probably occurs through seed. This dwarf shrub is commonly associated with drainageways which tend to carry fire more readily than do surrounding areas (R. Rosentreter, pers. comm. 1989). However, on some fuzzy sagebrush sites, fires may not carry due to the lack of understory herbs or other fuels. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
