FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Chimaphila umbellata | Prince's Pine 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Prince's pine is a fire-sensitive species that is very susceptible to
damage and often shows a strong decline following fire [33,52,71,78].
Survival probably depends to a great extent on damage to rhizomes, so it
depends on depth of rhizomes, fire severity, and consumption of duff
[68,78].  Loss of the long-lived evergreen leaves may also reduce
survival.  Postfire vegetative recovery depends primarily on the
survival of scattered individuals in undisturbed microsites [33].


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