FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Symphoricarpos longiflorus | Longflower Snowberry
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Information concerning the fire ecology of longflower snowberry is
scant; however, resprouting has been documented following burning in
Nevada [10]. As a genus, snowberries are moderately resistent to fire
mortality. Most species resprout via basal buds or rhizomes [19,23,24].
Although plant response is variable, postfire recovery rates are
moderately rapid on most sites.
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
