FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Atriplex gardneri | Gardner's Saltbush 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Most North American species of saltbush are highly tolerant of fire.  If
top-killed, they sprout prolifically.  Gardner's saltbush is a vigorous
root-sprouter [21].  Because it produces abundant, wind-dispersed seed,
it probably also establishes on burned sites from off-site seed.

Many Gardner's saltbush communities lack the fuels to carry fire [20].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
