We surveyed longleaf (Pinus palustris) and loblolly pine (P. taeda) stands burned within 0–7
years to examine the influence of prescribed fire on grassland-nesting passerines that …

Geographically isolated wetlands are critical biodiversity reservoirs, providing important
habitat for plants, herpetofauna, and avifauna. Biodiversity monitoring is crucial to …

Longleaf pine (LLP) ecosystems have experienced a widespread ecological state shift
largely due to fire exclusion which has allowed mesophytes, ie, shade-tolerant, often fire …

Gap-scale disturbances drive successional and structural development patterns in most
forest ecosystems. Although fire-maintained Pinus palustris woodlands are less light limited …

Forest disturbances influence stand succession and developmental patterns. The most
