FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Juglans major | Arizona Walnut 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Arizona walnut has few adaptations to fire. Arizona walnut occurs
predominantly in montane riparian woodlands which probably burn
infrequently.  Although no reference to Arizona walnut seed survival
following fire was found in the literature, the thick shell and tendency
to germinate better when covered by soil may allow some onsite seeds to
survive.  A covering of moist soil may offer Arizona walnut seeds some
degree of insulation from fire.



POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tree without adventitious-bud root crown
   Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
