FIRE EFFECTS
SPECIES: Ulmus rubra | Slippery Elm 



IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : 
Information regarding the fire effects on slippery elm is scant.
Literature suggests that American elm is a fire decreaser [3,4,9].  Low-
or moderate-severity fire top-kills American elm trees up to sapling
size and wounds larger trees.  Slippery elm is probably affected by fire
in the same way due to its similiar morphology.


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF FIRE EFFECT : 
NO-ENTRY


PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : 
Young slippery elm sprouts from the root crown following fire [1].


DISCUSSION AND QUALIFICATION OF PLANT RESPONSE : 
NO-ENTRY


FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : 
NO-ENTRY
