FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Fraxinus anomala | Singleleaf Ash
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Specific information concerning the effects of fire on singleleaf ash is
lacking. It probably sprouts vigorously following fire, as do most
Fraxinus species.
Samaras may remain viable in the soil for several years, making them
important in the colonization of burned sites. Wind-dispersed samaras
may also play an important role in fire ecology.
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species
root sucker
Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
