FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Picea breweriana | Brewer Spruce
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Brewer spruce is not fire resistant; the thin bark, drooping nature of
the branches, and shallow root system make it sensitive to fire
[17,18,23]. Fire sensitivity appears to have limited the range of
Brewer spruce [18]; it is largely confined to fire-resistant open
forests on north-facing slopes or rocky ridges [17,23].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
Tree without adventitious-bud root crown
Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
