FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Larix laricina | Tamarack 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Tamarack trees are easily killed by fire.  The species relies on seed
from surviving trees to revegetate burned areas.  Generally found in
boggy and swampy habitats, pockets of tamarack trees often escape
burning due to local topography or extremely wet conditions.  These
trees provide seeds for postfire recovery.  Because seed is dispersed
over short distances, tamarack is not well adapted to rapid reseeding of
large burns.


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   off-site colonizer; seed carried by wind; postfire years 1 and 2
