FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Ribes aureum | Golden Currant 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Severe fire that consumes the entire organic mantle probably kills
golden currant and may destroy soil-stored seeds [29].  Golden currant
may survive low- to moderate-severity fire by sprouting from rhizomes
[8,11].  Golden currant regeneration is probably favored by low- to
moderate-severity fire because germination of soil-stored seed is
generally enhanced by scarification in Ribes spp. [1,8,29,45,46].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
   Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
