FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Larix lyallii | Alpine Larch 



FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Alpine larch is a thin-barked species easily damaged by fire [3,11,19].
It does not usually suffer from fire effects because the tree tends to
occupy remote, rocky, cold sites where fire does not spread well [3,19].
Fire appears to have an important influence on the establishment of
alpine larch by creating mineral soil seedbeds [5].


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