FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Salix lasiandra | Pacific Willow
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Most willows in all stages of vigor resprout from the root crown or stem
base following fire [16,26,37,47]. However, the specific sprouting
capabilities of Pacific willow are not known [17]. Its numerous wind
dispersed seeds are important in revegetating areas following fire
[28,47].
Fires usually occur infrequently in the streamside habitats occupied by
Pacific willow [9].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
off-site colonizer; seed carried by wind; postfire years one and two
off-site colonizer; seed carried by animals or water; postfire yr 1&2
