SPECIES: Cornus alternifolia | Alternate-Leaf Dogwood 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Fire survival and postfire regeneration strategies for alternate-leaf
dogwood are not well documented in the literature.  If the roots or
stems survive fire, it may reproduce vegetatively.  Alternate-leaf
dogwood may colonize fire disturbed sites with animal-dispersed seed
[26].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
   Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
