FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Tetradymia nuttallii | Nuttall Horsebrush 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Plants of Nuttall horsebrush stand dormant throughout most of the year
on the dry ranges where they occur.  During a fire these much-branched
shrubs burn rapidly, with little heat transferred downward into the root
crowns.  Fire stimulates the root crowns to sprout [10].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Small shrub, adventitious-bud root crown
   Ground residual colonizer (on-site, initial community)
