FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Pinus balfouriana | Foxtail Pine 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Foxtail pine occurs for the most part in the subalpine zone in habitats
where fuels to carry fires are nonexistant.  In this area low
temperatures and a short growing season keep the production of organic
matter low.  Surface fires are infrequent, slow-burning, and of low
intensity [15].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tree without adventitious-bud root crown
   Initial-offsite colonizer (off-site, initial community)
