FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
S. racemosa ssp. pubens can resprout from rhizomes or rootcrowns
following fire [12,44,58,105,112]. It also has the ability to store seed in
seed banks so that viable seeds can germinate following fire or other
disturbance even if plants are absent from the prefire stand
[1,44,48,54,55,105].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker
Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
