FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii | Western Soapberry 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Most Southwestern riparian woodlands presumably burn infrequently.
Recurrent fires in adjacent upland desert communities may eliminate or
reduce invading shrubs such as western soapberry [11].

Specific adaptations to fire have not been identified in western
soapberry.  Plants may reoccupy a site through seed transported from
adjacent unburned areas by birds.  Postfire sprouting from underground
rhizomes is possible but has not been documented.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   survivor species; on-site surviving rhizomes
   off-site colonizer; seed carried by animals or water; postfire yr 1&2
