Book Description
Up to the late 20th century, most ecologists tacitly assumed that fire was not an important factor in eastern deciduous forests. Nowhere is fire mentioned in E. Lucy Braun's monographic treatment of this biome (Braun 1950). Oosting (1942) likewise omitted any mention of fire in his survey of the successional and mature communities of the eastern Piedmont. Whittaker (1956) speculated that wildfire played an important role in the maintenance of ridge top shrub and pine dominated communities of the southern Appalachians but not in deciduous hardwoods.

The Fire-oak Literature of Eastern North America

ISBN: 9781508579632
Category : Fire ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Guidelines for using prescribed fire to regenerate and restore upland oak forests, woodlands, and savannas in eastern North America were developed by synthesizing the results of more than 100 scientific publications. The first four chapters provide background information on the values of oak ecosystems, eastern fire history, oak's adaptations to fire, and the findings of fire-oak research conducted over the past 50 years. The final chapter synthesizes that background information into guidelines that explain how to use prescribed fire to facilitate oak seedling establishment, release oak reproduction from competing mesophytic hardwoods, and rehabilitate open oak woodlands, oak savannas, and scrub oak communities. A reference section is also provided for readers desiring to delve more deeply into the associations between periodic fire and oak forests, woodlands, and savannas.
