FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Salix hastata | Halberd Willow 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Information on Halberd willow's ability to sprout after fire is lacking.
It is assumed that following top-kill by fire, this willow sprouts from
the root crown like most other species of willow [14].  Halberd willow
produces numerous, minute seeds that are dispersed by wind, and are
important in colonizing recently disturbed areas [10]. 


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
   Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
   Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
