FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Rhus microphylla | Littleleaf Sumac
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Most species of sumac are very tolerant of fire due to a capacity for sprouting [4,39]. Littleleaf sumac is considered tolerant of fire, although no research has documented its sprouting ability [39,41]. Seeds of smooth sumac (Rhus glabra) have been shown to be fire adapted, germinating at an increased rate after fire scarifies the seedcoat [26]. Other sumacs are known to have seed stored in the soil for decades, allowing regeneration after fire [30]. Littleleaf sumac may have these same characteristics. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
