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
