FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Ulmus americana | American Elm 


FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : 
Fire rarely occurs in the moist areas where American elm typically
grows.  When fire does occur and conditions are dry, American elm
greatly decreases following fire [12].  Wind- and water-dispersed seed
are important in the survival of American elm following fire [28].
After being top-killed, young American elm will sprout from the base
following fire [5].


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