FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Lithocarpus densiflora | Tanoak 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Tanoak resprouts following fire via dormant buds located on an
underground regenerative organ known as a burl or lignotuber [36,53].
Stored carbohydrates in the burl and an extensive taproot system aid in
a rapid and aggressive postburn recovery [31,53].  Resistance to low
intensity burning is increased in older individuals where the bark may
be from 1 to 3 inches (2.5-7.6 cm) thick [36,42].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   survivor species; on-site surviving root crown or caudex
