SEE-U 2000 Biosphere 2 Center 8.21.00 Effects of Ground Fire on Bear Grass Regeneration SEE-U 2000 Biosphere 2 Center 8.21.00

Hypothesis To what extent does fire impact Bear Grass regeneration? What is the percentage re-growth of Bear Grass after fire?

Methods Three 15 x 15 meter plots Number of individuals per plot were counted Number of live and dead bulbs counted Slope, aspect, GPS reading recorded for each plot

Distribution of Individuals

Percentage Comparison

Conclusions Regardless of slope, aspect, or total # of individuals, regeneration rates were about 30% for all plots Burn recovery is more dependent upon plant physiology than abiotic factors
