FIRE ECOLOGY
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS:Rubber rabbitbrush is a fire-adapted species that is typically unharmed or enhanced by fire [99,148]. Recovery time is often rapid to very rapid. Rubber rabbitbrush is often one of the first species to colonize burned areas by sprouting or from off-site seed [107,148]. Sprouts originate from adventitious buds located on the stem and root crown [24]. This species reproduces abundantly from heavily seed crops [148]. Seeds are easily dispersed to burned sites over long distances by wind. Fire intervals in sagebrush-grass communities have been estimated at 7 to 70 years [148]. The range of fire intervals reported for some species that dominate communities where rubber rabbitbrush occurs are listed below. To learn more about the fire regimes in those communities refer to the Fire Effects Information System summary for that species, under "Fire Ecology or Adaptations." ponderosa pine: 2-42 years Mexican pinyon (Pinus cembroides): 20-70 years
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY:Tall shrub, adventitious bud/root crown Small shrub, adventitious bud/root crown Initial off-site colonizer (off-site, initial community) Secondary colonizer, on-site seed
