FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Toxicodendron toxicarium | Eastern Poison-Oak
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : Eastern poison-oak occurs in the understory of open woods, particularly in the longleaf pine, loblolly pine, and scrub oak types [8,9]. The open condition of these communities is maintained by fire. Historically, fires in these communities occurred frequently (intervals from 3 to 20 years) and were usually low-intensity surface fires. It is likely that eastern poison-oak is able to survive low-intensity surface fires by sprouting from rhizomes if top-killed. In Texas, eastern poison-oak is a common understory plant in a dry, upland longleaf pine savanna which has been maintained by periodic prescribed fire (burned at 3- to 5-year intervals) [13]. POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Rhizomatous shrub, rhizome in soil
