FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Quercus vaccinifolia | Huckleberry Oak
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Huckleberry oak has adapted to fire by sprouting from the root crown [3,24]. This shrub has resinous, flammable leaves [5,24]. Its low, spreading growth form encourages surface fire, especially in dense, even-aged stands with considerable horizontal continuity [16,24]. Huckleberry oak in the subcanopy layer of coniferous forests often acts as a ladder fuel, resulting in crown fire [24]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Small shrub, adventitious-bud rootcrown
