FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Salix planifolia ssp. pulchra | Diamondleaf Willow
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Diamondleaf willow is a fire-adapted species. Most plants sprout from the root crown following top-kill by fire [10,37]. Viereck and Schandelmeier [36] reported that even old, decadent willows sprout prolifically immediately after fire. The sprouting ability of willows is apparently more vigorous and prolific than that of birches or alders [36]. Diamondleaf willow's abundant, wind-dispersed seeds colonize burned areas [30]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : survivor species; on-site surviving root crown or caudex off-site colonizer; seed carried by wind; postfire years 1 and 2 off-site colonizer; seed carried by animals or water; postfire yr 1&2
