FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Prunus andersonii | Desert Peach 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Desert peach is probably quite resistant to fire mortality.  Although
easily top-killed, the majority of plants resprout vigorously from
surviving buds located on lignotubers and along an extensive system of
underground stems [19].  Postburn regeneration from seed is apparently
quite rare in sagebrush-grass communities.  Recovery rates of desert
peach following fire have not been studied in detail because of its
restricted distribution and local occurrence.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
