FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Ribes montigenum | Gooseberry Currant
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : The fire ecology of gooseberry currant is not described in the literature. Although many authors discuss the effect of fire on Ribes spp., most refer to studies conducted by Quick [31,32]. Quick described postfire seedling establishment by Sierra Nevada gooseberry (R. roezli). Gooseberry currant regeneration is probably favored by fire because scarification of soil-stored seed generally enhances germination in Ribes spp. [5,38,39]. The ability of gooseberry currant to sprout from the root crown after fire is described in the literature as "variable" [5,6]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
