IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Depending on fire severity, black ash is probably killed or top-killed by
fire.



DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Black ash probably sprouts from the root crown following top-damage from
fire.  It is also probable that this tree, a prolific seeder,
regenerates from seed [4].

NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
Fire suppression has allowed the invasion of black ash into sedge
meadows in southern Wisconsin [28].
