FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Quercus havardii | Sand Shinnery Oak
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Wright and others [52] reported that the interaction of fire, climate, insects, rodents, and competition from grasses may have restricted shrub and tree growth in portions of the southern Great Plains. Thus, a fire every 15 to 30 years could significantly reduce distribution and density of shrubs in the southern mixed prairie [52]. Sand shinnery oak is well adapted to fire. Plants typically sprout vigorously from underground stems or rhizomes after aboveground vegetation is damaged or removed by fire. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker Geophyte, growing points deep in soil Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
