Thinning, fire, and oak regeneration across a heterogeneous landscape in the eastern U.S.: 7-year results

2008-04-01

Abstract excerpt

We document an increase in oak and hickory advance regeneration, depending on landscape position, in the sixth year following mechanical thinning and repeated prescribed fires in southern Ohio, USA. Oak-dominated communities provide a multitude of human and natural resource values throughout the eastern United States, but their long-term sustainability is threatened throughout the region by poor regeneration.
