FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Hymenoclea salsola | White Burrobrush
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Fires are infrequent in communities where white burrobrush occurs
because of low productivity and discontinuous fuels [23]; nevertheless,
fire is a natural component of these communities [16,42]. White
burrobrush establishes after fire via off-site seeds and sprouting
(sprout origin unspecified) [29,38]. Because it seeds prolifically,
white burrobrush can quickly colonize burned sites [38].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
