FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Quercus grisea | Gray Oak
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Gray oak is codominant or present in Mexican pinyon habitat types. The fire chronology of Mexican pinyon types, in which gray oak occurs, indicates numerous separate fires. Fire-produced scars on Mexican pinyon occurred in intervals from 9 to 60 or more years [42]. Naturally caused fires were probably less frequent and greater in size and severity before the settlement of this area than in more recent times [15]. No fire ecology information on gray oak was found in the literature. The shrubby growth form of gray oak, which produces numerous ramets, may sprout after being top-killed by fire. Oaks generally survive low-intensity, fast fires. Fires that occur in closed-canopy oak woodlands are probably high-intensity, stand replacement fires [39]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
