FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Cercocarpus montanus | True Mountain-Mahogany
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : True mountain-mahogany is usually temporarily damaged by fire [41]. True mountain-mahogany burns less readily than other shrubs [28,36] and sprouts vigorously from the root crown after most fires [7,13,36]. In open, dry habitats where true mountain-mahogany is likely to occur, fires in presettlement times were of low severity because of fuel discontinuity. Today, many formerly open stands are dominated by conifers and decadent shrubs which provide greater fuel loads. When fires occur, they are likely to be more severe [7]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
