FIRE EFFECTS

SPECIES: Rosa woodsii | Wood's Rose
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : Wood's rose is typically top-killed by fire [2,3,4,48]. Root crowns and underground rhizomes survive low- or moderate-severity fires [7,21]. However, the shallow root crowns of Wood's rose are susceptible to injury, and populations consequently decrease following high-severity fire [3,21]. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : Wood's rose recovery varies with fire severity. Top-killed plants will sprout from the root crown and underground surviving rhizomes [9,17,34,52]. Reproduction from seed is rarely observed after fire. When seedlings are observed in a burn area, their rate of growth is slow compared to that of other species [51]. DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : In, Wood's rose doubled in abundance by postfire year 2 [33]. Following a moderate- to high-severity fire at Manning Basin northeast of Montpelier, Idaho, Wood's rose recovered to near preburn densities by postfire year 2 [8]. The first growing season after a spring burn in an aspen-conifer stand, west Boulder River, Montana, the density per acre of Wood's rose showed significant increase. The average height for Wood's rose following the first postburn growing season was about half or less of their average preburn height [19]. One year following a high-severity fire in a northern Arizona ponderosa pine forest, postfire biomass of Wood's rose was only about 0.25 that of prefire levels [46]. FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : NO-ENTRY
