FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Salix gooddingii | Goodding Willow 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Information concerning effects of fire on Goodding willow is lacking.
It probably sprouts vigorously after a fire, as do most members of the
willow genus.  Fires are uncommon in the riparian zones in which
Goodding willow occurs.

Wind-dispersed Gooding willow seed are probably important in the
colonization of recently burned sites [5].  Severe fires expose mineral
soil, creating ideal conditions for seedling establishment.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker
   Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
