FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Taxodium distichum | Baldcypress 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Ecology:  Because of its edaphic and physiographic requirements (See
Site Characteristics), cypress is usually protected from fire [2,30].

Adaptation:  The thin bark of cypress trees offers little protection
against fire and, during years of drought when swamps are dry, fire
kills great quantities of cypress [11,50].


POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : 
   Tree with adventitious-bud root crown/soboliferous species root sucker
   Secondary colonizer - off-site seed
