FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Rosa woodsii | Wood's Rose 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Wood's rose is moderately fire tolerant and is usually favored by
low-severity fire.  It can persist after low- to moderate-severity fire
because of its ability to sprout from undamaged or buried root crowns
and rhizomes [7,21].  It occasionally germinates from on-site or
off-site seed sources after fire [51].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Small shrub, adventitious-bud rootcrown
   Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
   Ground residual colonizer (onsite, initial community)
   Initial-offsite colonizer (offsite, initial community)
   Secondary colonizer - offsite seed
