southeastern US landscape. With European settlement, fire suppression, and landscape …

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) woodlands and savannas are among the most frequently
burned ecosystems in the world with fire return intervals of 1–10 years. This fire regime has …

In forests historically maintained by frequent fire, reintroducing fire after decades of
exclusion often causes widespread overstory mortality. To better understand this …

The longleaf pine ecosystem includes some of the most species-rich plant communities
outside of the tropics, and most of that diversity resides in the ground layer vegetation. In …

Spatial aggregation of forest structure strongly regulates understory light and its spatial
variation in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forest ecosystems. Previous studies have …

While the commitment to protect and restore forest ecosystems has become a policy goal in
many countries since the Rio Conference, there is still no general consensus on what …

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests of the Gulf Coastal Plain historically burned every
2–4 years with low intensity fires, which maintained open stands with herbaceous …

Wildland fire radiant energy emission is one of the only measurements of combustion that
can be made at high temporal and spatial resolutions. Furthermore, spatially and temporally …

Old-growth savannas and forests dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) are of
great conservation and research interest. Comprehensive inventories of old-growth …

Prescribed fire is widely used in southeastern pine (Pinus spp.) forests to maintain desirable
forest conditions and provide early successional vegetation. However, it is unclear how fires …
