HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
American licorice occurs in a variety of habitats but is most often found in
prairie and other grassland communities or riparian areas.  On native
tallgrass prairie in eastern North Dakota, American licorice is a member of
three community types:  bluegrass-bluestem-needlegrass (Poa
spp.-Andropogon spp.-Stipa spp.), bromegrass (Bromus spp.)-bluegrass,
and bluegrass-sweetclover (Melilotus spp.).  Associated plant species in
these communities include Louisiana sagewort (Artemisia ludoviciana),
western snowberry (Symphoricarpos occidentalis), field sowthistle
(Sonchus arvensis), heath aster (Aster ericoides), and northern bedstraw
(Galium boreale) [15].  On mixed-grass prairie in North Dakota, American 
licorice occurs in two community types:  big bluestem-Indian grass
(Andropogon gerardii var. gerardii-Sorghastrum nutans) and a lowland
forb community dominated by Maximilian sunflower (Helianthus
maximiliani), Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), and prairie
dogbane (Apocynum sibericum) [26].  American licorice is a member of the
plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides), quaking aspen-birch (P.
tremuloides-Betula spp.), and Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus
scopulorum) community types in western North Dakota [41].

In South Dakota, American licorice occurs in grasslands of the Black Hills
[40].  

American licorice occurs in riparian areas dominated by plains cottonwood in
Colorado, North Dakota, and Utah [25,29,41].  Some common plant
associates in eastern Colorado include sandbar willow (Salix exigua),
peachleaf willow (S. amygdaloides), saltcedar (Tamarix ramosissima),
Wood's rose (Rosa woodsii), eastern poison-ivy (Toxicodendron radicans),
Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), and western wheatgrass
(Pascopyrum smithii) [25,33].  

MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

SPECIES: Glycyrrhiza lepidota
IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE : American licorice is eaten by deer and pronghorn [7,37,42]. It is grazed in the summer and early fall by mule deer in Colorado [7]. In the Great Plains, American licorice roots are eaten by plains pocket gophers, foliage is eaten by deer and pronghorn, and seeds are eaten by birds and rodents [7]. In Utah and Wyoming, American licorice is eaten by deer, elk, pronghorn, upland game birds, passerine birds, waterfowl, and small mammals [46]. PALATABILITY : Palatability ratings for American licorice from selected western states are as follows [45]: CO MT ND UT WY cattle poor poor poor poor poor sheep fair fair fair fair fair horses poor poor poor poor fair NUTRITIONAL VALUE : American licorice is rated poor in nutritional value for pronghorn and fair for elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, upland game birds, waterfowl, small nongame birds, and small mammals [45]. Energy rating is fair and protein content is poor [46]. COVER VALUE : American licorice cover values are as follows [46]: MT UT WY pronghorn poor poor elk poor poor mule deer poor poor white-tailed deer poor small mammals fair good small nongame birds fair good upland game birds poor fair waterfowl good poor fair In South Dakota, American licorice is used for shade by sharp-tailed grouse during the brood season [14]. VALUE FOR REHABILITATION OF DISTURBED SITES : American licorice has good potential for revegtation of disturbed and denuded lands [2,3,5,17], but may be difficult to establish due to restrictive habitat requirements [17]. It has good soil-binding capabilities and can be used for soil stabilization [6,20]. In North Dakota, American licorice was directly seeded and container-grown seedlings were transplanted onto coal mine spoils. Both methods resulted in the production of successful stands of American licorice, although the transplant method resulted in more rapid growth of seedlings. Estimated number of seedlings produced in one growing season on mine spoil plots was 22.3 per square foot (248/sq m) [1,2]. OTHER USES AND VALUES : Native Americans of the Great Plains used American licorice for medicinal and nutritional purposes. The Lakota used American licorice as a fever remedy for children. Steeped leaves were used for earaches, and the roots were chewed and held in the mouth to relieve toothaches and sore throats. The roots were also eaten for nourishment [37,44]. The sweet roots of American licorice contain glycyrrhizin, which is used by druggists and confectioners [22]. OTHER MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : American licorice has potential as a valuable forage and conservation species throughout the Great Plains. However, three species of the bruchid beetle may have substantial impacts on seed production of American licorice. The bruchid beetle seed predators are Acanthoscelides aureolus, A. fraterculus, and Bruchophagus grisselli [5,6,50]. In North and South Dakota, seed predation by A. fraterculus reduced viable seed production by 7 to 71 percent [6]. American licorice can become a serious weed on fertile soils in Arizona [20].

BOTANICAL AND ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

SPECIES: Glycyrrhiza lepidota
GENERAL BOTANICAL CHARACTERISTICS : American licorice is a native, perennial, leguminous forb that grows from 1 to 4 feet (0.3-1.2 m) tall [18,28,37,44]. It may form colonies by adventitious shoots from roots and deep-seated rhizomes [13,19,24,43,44]. Rhizomes are many-branched and may grow up to several feet long [42]. Leaves are 0.8 to 2.8 inches (2-7 cm) long and 0.16 to 0.8 inch (4-20 mm) wide [13,37]. Legumes are indehiscent, sessile, and bur-like with hooked prickles, and are O.4 to 0.6 inch (12-15 mm) long [16,28,37,43]. Seeds are 0.08 to 0.12 inch (2-3 mm) long [44]. In addition to rhizomes, American licorice has an extensive system of deep, fleshy roots [42]. RAUNKIAER LIFE FORM : Hemicryptophyte Geophyte REGENERATION PROCESSES : Vegetative: American licorice spreads vigorously by sprouting from rhizomes [1,2,6,19,44]. Sexual: American licorice produces abundant seeds with relatively low germination rates, which can be increased with scarification [37]. Seeds were collected from native ranges in western North Dakota. Three storage treatments were applied to separate lots of seed. Germination results (in %) were [2]: room Temp storage dry cold storage wet cold storage Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jan Feb Mar Apr May 65 80 75 77 79 57 71 61 56 60 77 52 69 75 55 The hooked prickles of American licorice seedpods adhere to animals so the fruits are widely dispersed [37]. SITE CHARACTERISTICS : American licorice occurs in fields, meadows, borrow ditches, and along roadsides [16,17,19,34,44]. It occurs in open, unshaded areas on disturbed soils [17,32,44]. It is a facultative wetland species, most commonly found in moist areas such as terraces, seeps, streambanks, wet meadows, floodplains, and along lakeshores [17,37,43,46,,47]. American licorice grows best on moist to semiwet soils with good drainage [13,15,17]. It grows best on loam, sandy loam, and clayey loam soils, but occurs on gravelly substrates as well [35,46]. Elevations for American licorice for several states are as follows: feet meters Arizona 2,000-7,000 600-2,100 [20] California <7,500 <2,250 [28] Colorado 4,000-8,500 1,200-2,550 [16,46] Montana 6,600-7,500 1,980-2,250 [46] North Dakota 1,930-2,640 585-800 [41] Utah 3,300-8,100 990-2,430 [46] Wyoming 3,700-7,600 1,110-2,280 [46] SUCCESSIONAL STATUS : American licorice is an aggressive colonizer of disturbed riparian habitats [5,17]. SEASONAL DEVELOPMENT : American licorice flowering dates for several states are as follows: Arizona May-July [20] California May-July [28] Colorado Jun-Aug [46] Great Plains July-Sep [47,48] Illinois Jun-Aug [27] Montana July [46] Nebraska June-July [34] North Dakota Jun-Aug [46] Utah Jun-Aug [46] Wyoming Jun-Sep [46]

FIRE ECOLOGY

SPECIES: Glycyrrhiza lepidota
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS : American licorice probably survives fire by sprouting from rhizomes. It may also colonize from off-site seed. FIRE REGIMES : Find fire regime information for the plant communities in which this species may occur by entering the species name in the FEIS home page under "Find Fire Regimes". POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY : Rhizomatous herb, rhizome in soil Geophyte, growing points deep in soil Secondary colonizer - off-site seed

FIRE EFFECTS

SPECIES: Glycyrrhiza lepidota
IMMEDIATE FIRE EFFECT ON PLANT : American licorice is probably top-killed by fire. At the Woodworth Station in North Dakota, a mixed-grass prairie was burned in May 1970 to determine the effect of fire on wildlife populations. American licorice was a component of the prairie that was burned. During postfire year 1, American licorice was reported as showing "no change" in percent cover, that is, cover change was between +99% and -49% [21]. In North Dakota, a bluegrass-sweetclover prairie containing American licorice was burned in 1964; the following year, herbage production on burned and unburned plots was comparable [15]. PLANT RESPONSE TO FIRE : American licorice probably sprouts from rhizomes following fire. FIRE MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS : NO-ENTRY
