FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Symphoricarpos longiflorus | Longflower Snowberry 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Fire usually completely top-kills longflower snowberry.  It is probably
moderately resistant to fire mortality due to perennating buds located
on root crowns and rhizomes.  Survival may be highly variable, however,
and appears to be significantly influenced by fire intensity and
severity [18.25].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Fire response of longflower snowberry has not been well documented.
Following a spring burn in a sagebrush-grassland community in Nevada,
all reexamined plants sprouted; however, sprout origin and vigor were
not discussed [10].  (For fire response information on a morphologically
similar species, see the FEIS write-up on mountain snowberry).


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
