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
