FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Alnus rhombifolia | White Alder 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
White alder plants are not fire resistant.  However, since they are
restricted to streamside habitats which burn infrequently, plants may
escape fire.  Along the San Gabriel River in California, Brothers [6]
observed no evidence of fire on large white alder trees which were older
than the last major fire in the area.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
