Long‐term history of vegetation and fire in pitch pine–oak forests on cape cod, massachusetts

2003-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Human disturbance in northeastern North America over the past four centuries has led to dramatic change in vegetation composition and ecosystem processes, obscuring the influence of climate and edaphic factors on vegetation patterns. We use a paleoecological approach on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to assess landscape‐scale variation in pitch pine–oak vegetation and fire occurrence on the pre‐European landscape and to...
