FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Cercocarpus betuloides | Birchleaf Mountain-Mahogany
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Birchleaf mountain-mahogany sprouts from the root crown following top-kill by fire. Sprouting is usually the only method of postfire regeneration [24]. Seedling establishment occurs infrequently from seed blown onto the burn from off-site plants [18] or from on-site seeds that fall from the crown of lightly burned plants [4]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : survivor species; on-site surviving root crown or caudex off-site colonizer; seed carried by wind; postfire years 1 and 2
