FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Vaccinium oxycoccos | Bog Cranberry 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Members of the family Ericaceae easily regenerate from rhizomes
following fire [8].  Bog cranberry is able to survive low- to
moderate-severity fires because rhizomes are found well below the
surface of the bog [12].  Bog cranberry can utilize ash nutrients for
rapid growth, preventing additional nutrient loss from the burn site
[14].  Wildfires are infrequent in the wet or saturated habitats that
bog cranberry generally occupies [51].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   survivor species; on-site surviving rhizomes
   off-site colonizer; seed carried by animals or water; postfire yr 1&2
