to medium-severity fires [4,14]; however, the rhizomes usually do not
penetrate deep into the soil and consequently may be killed by severe
fires [25]


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
In the second growing season after the Wickersham Dome fire near
Fairbanks, Alaska, cloudberry reached a density of 3.9 percent and a
frequency of 56 percent [36].
