History and restoration of the longleaf pine-grassland ecosystem: Implications for species at risk.

2005-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The longleaf pine-grassland (Pinus palustris-Poaceae) ecosystem occupied over 30 million ha in the southeastern United States at the time of European discovery. Frequent low- to moderate-intensity surface fires ignited by both lightning and native Americans sustained open diverse stands in a fire climax and prevented succession to mixed hardwood forests. Disruption of pre-historical and historical fire regimes, co...
