FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Rosa gymnocarpa | Baldhip Rose 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Aboveground portions of the plant are killed by fire.  Root crowns and
underground rhizomes typically survive low- to moderate-severity fires
[17,19,26,27,29,33].  Severe fires can cause damage to root crowns,
decreasing potential regrowth [13].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Baldhip rose rapidly recovers following low- to medium-severity fires.
Top-killed plants typically sprout vigorously from the root crown or
rhizomes [17,19,25,27,29,33].

Seedlings are rarely observed in a burn area [25,29].  No seedlings were
present on clearcut 2-year-old burns in a western redcedar/queencup
beadlily (Thuja plicata/Clintonia uniflora) habitat type in northern
Idaho [26].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
