FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Rubus canadensis | Thornless Blackberry
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Thornless blackberry is favored by fire [29,35,38]. Burning typically
stimulates sprouting [5]. Root crowns and rhizomes are primarily in the
mineral soil, a morphological trait that favors high rates of survival
following fire [9]. Even severe fires provide conditions where
thornless blackberry can establish or increase [29,37].
Spruce-fir forests, in which thornless blackberry occurs, burn
infrequently but are more likely to burn after logging or other
disturbances [37].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
