Turning up the heat: fire ecology and climate adaptive silviculture in longleaf pine forests
… structure, function, and high biodiversity of longleaf pine woodlands. Longleaf pine regeneration is exposed to this frequent fire, yet persists as both patches and single tree regeneration. While research has shown that this regeneration within patches alters fuel composition, specific changes …

The Effects on Soil Fungal Community of Excluding select Above-ground Herbaceous Species in a Montane Longleaf Pine Savanna Restoration Area
<p>Due to anthropogenic pressures, by the 1990s longleaf pine forests were at 3% its peak area. Restoration is difficult as vegetation communities constitute a mosaic across the longleaf range. Hence, vegetation description is important wherever longleaf pine communities exist. Vegetation strongly …

Managing disturbance in the longleaf pine ecosystem: effects of managed fire regime characteristics on fire hazard and community ecology at multiple spatial scales
Conservation lands within the range of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) are valuable because they protect remnants of an ecosystem with globally high measures of biological diversity. The longleaf pine ecosystem is adapted to frequent, low-intensity fire, however, naturally occurring fire no longer …

Ecology of Upland Snake Communities in Managed Montane Longleaf Pine Habitats of Georgia
<p>Longleaf pine ecosystem decline in the Southeast United States has led to intensive land management implementation with the goal to benefit both the ecosystem and at-risk species. Addressing at-risk snake populations in these longleaf pine ecosystems, for instance, requires understanding both …
