horizontal rhizomes, of which a high proportion are situated in mineral
soil.  Ninebark has 36 to 99 percent of its rhizomes buried in mineral
soil, ensuring its potential for survival and sprouting following a
fire.  It has been ranked in the highest fire-survival category in a
western Montana study [4,9,14,38].
