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)
