FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Shepherdia argentea | Silver Buffaloberry
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Silver buffaloberry has fair tolerance to fire in the dormant state and
sprouts from rootstocks following fire [28,85]. In North Dakota the
green ash/chokecherry and boxelder/chokecherry habitat types, in which
silver buffaloberry is common, are adapted to fire. When main trunks of
most shrubs and trees in these habitat types are damaged by fire, the
plants sprout from the root crown [30].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Tall shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
