FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Chimaphila menziesii | Little Prince's Pine 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Since little prince's pine is similar to prince's pine, it probably is a
fire-sensitive species that is very susceptible to damage and usually
shows a strong decline following fire [32,34,36].  Survival is most
likely dependent on depth of rhizomes, fire severity, and consumption of
duff [8,31,36].  Postfire vegetative recovery probably depends primarily
on scattered individuals surviving in undisturbed microsites [13].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous low woody plant, rhizome in organic mantle
   Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil
