The Effects of Fire on Rare Plants

Owen W. 2003. The Effects of Fire on Rare Plants. USDA Forest Service

To fill the fire-effects information gap and to support the programs of the Forest Service and other agencies, I classified the effects of fire on the 186 Federally listed, proposed, and candidate plant species that are known or suspected of occurring on National Forest System Lands across the nation. Effects information came primarily from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service documents, state Natural Heritage Programs, and NatureServe reports. Plants were classified into one of four fire-response classes: Requires Fire, Tolerates Fire, Not Affected by Fire, and Adversely Affected by Fire.
