FIRE EFFECTS

SPECIES: Cornus alternifolia | Alternate-Leaf Dogwood
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : Fires probably top-kills alternate-leaf dogwood. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : NO-ENTRY PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : No specific information is available on fire response of alternate-leaf digwood. Since it sprouts from the root crown, it probably does so after top-kill by fire. Perala [23] reported that alternate-leaf dogwood was "encouraged" by prescribed fire in an aspen-mixed hardwood forest in north-central Minnesota, but no details were given. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : NO-ENTRY FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : NO-ENTRY
