FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Ilex vomitoria | Yaupon
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Yaupon is only moderately well adapted to fire [28,30]. Presumably, it
survives fire by sprouting from the root crown.
Dense thickets of yaupon are a primary fuel source, promoting fire spread
in many parts of the Southeast [23,37].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
survivor species; on-site survivng root crown or caudex
off-site colonizer; seed carried by animals or water; postfire year 1&2
