FIRE EFFECTS

SPECIES: Gaylussacia dumosa | Dwarf Huckleberry
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : Fire typically kills aboveground portions of dwarf huckleberry [1,19]. Underground rhizomes are generally protected from the damaging effects of heat and apparently survive most fires. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : NO-ENTRY PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : Fire stimulates the growth of dwarf huckleberry [1,2]. Density and cover of dwarf huckleberry reached peak levels 1 year after a January prescribed burn in central Florida [2] Plants will typically sprout from underground rhizomes after aboveground vegetation is consumed [19]. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : NO-ENTRY FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : Fruit production of dwarf huckleberry was higher on burned sites than on unburned sites [1,2]. Fire exclusion greatly reduced density and cover of dwarf huckleberry on slash pine (Pinus elliottii) plantations in Georgia [14].
