FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Prunus ilicifolia | Hollyleaf Cherry  
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Following fires which kill aerial stems, hollyleaf cherry sprouts
vigorously via dormant buds located on a root crown [40].  The root
crown serves as a source of numerous dormant buds and stored
carbohydrates, enabling hollyleaf cherry to rapidly reoccupy the initial
postburn environment [24,31].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker
