FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Salix lutea | Yellow Willow 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Generally yellow willow has the ability to sprout from its roots or stem
base following fire [19,48].  When found along a streamside, the high soil
and fuel moisture content characteristic of this habitat reduces the
chance of fire ignition and spread.  Its numerous wind dispersed seeds
are important in revegetating areas following fire [48].


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