FIRE EFFECTS

SPECIES: Prosopis pubescens | Screwbean Mesquite
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : Most fires probably top-kill or kill screwbean mesquite. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : NO-ENTRY PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : Vogl and McHargue [39] report that plants not killed by fire resprout weakly. They further state that following a fire in a southern California oasis, a "dense stand" of screwbean mesquite and western honey mesquite was found under California palms (Washingtonia filifera) within 10 to 15 years. It is unclear whether these plants were established from seed or from individuals which survived the fire. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : NO-ENTRY FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : NO-ENTRY
