FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Pinus quadrifolia | Parry Pinyon 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Parry pinyon has low resistance to fire.  Like other pinyons, it has
thin bark, low branches, and no resprouting capability [12].  Fuel loads
in pinyon habitats are discontinuous and light, which lowers fire
frequency and severity [19].  Seed dispersal by birds may enable pinyon
pines to colonize burns even when parent trees are not nearby.


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