FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Quercus ellipsoidalis | Northern Pin Oak 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Fire has very little effect on pole-sized or larger northern pin oak.
In eastern Kansas annual prescribed burning had very little effect on
trees larger than 10 inches (25 cm) d.b.h. [1,3,5].  However, 13 years
of annual burning in Minnesota greatly reduced northern pin oak
populations, primarily by killing smaller diameter stems [33].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Northern pin oak is generally favored by fire.  After an early spring
fire in northeastern Wisconsin, northern pin oak sprouted vigorously and
maintained the preburn density of 30 trees per acre (74/ha) [31].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
