Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre- and post-treatment seed-bank characteristics of woody species were compared after two prescribed fires in a mesic mixed-oak forest in the central Appalachians. Nineteen woody species were identified from soil samples. Mean species richness declined but evenness did not after prescribed burning. The seed bank was dominated by black birch, yellow-poplar, blackberry, grapevine and Hercules club before burning. Following burning, the median density of seed bank propagules declined by 45 percent. Black birch, yellow-poplar, and grapevine declined by 69, 56, and 40 percent, respectively. The results illustrate the importance of the seed bank as a robust source of non-oak regeneration in mixed-oak forests and of the potential effect of fire altering it.

Download or read book The Effects of Prescribed Fire on the Herbaceous Layer in the Southern Appalachian Mountains written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prescribed fire in the southern Appalachians is a frequently used and controversial forest management practice. Research is limited on the effects of prescribed fire in the mesic southern Appalachians, where many of Tennesseeâs rare and regionally endemic plant species occur. This study examined the effects of prescribed fire on the herbaceous layer. Field work was conducted on six previously burned sites within the Cherokee National Forest in northeast Tennessee. Complimentary non-burned sites were selected based on similarity of physical characteristics and forest structure. The numbers of herbaceous species and individuals and the total numbers of species and individuals were determined and used to compare burned and unburned forest. Following prescribed fires there were significant reductions in the number of herbaceous species and individuals. Species with myrmecochorous (ant-dispersed) seeds were markedly reduced on burned sites. Despite considerable variation among sites, the negative impact of fire on forest herbs was clearly evident.

Book excerpt: Prescribed fire in eastern deciduous forests has been understudied relative to other regions in the United States yet is increasingly being used for management purposes. Particularly in Pennsylvania where prescribed fire use has increased by more than five times since 2009, the localized forest response has not been extensively studied. Given the feedback system between vegetation and fire, Pennsylvania deciduous forests will both burn and respond differently than forests across the Eastern U.S. due to variations in pre-fire land use and forest composition. This study broadens the understanding of increased fire disturbance by asking how prescribed fire affects mid-Atlantic deciduous forests over time. We measured changes in forest structure, composition, and fuel loadings up to eight years after prescribed fire in the ridge and valley region of the Appalachian Mountains in central Pennsylvania. Research was conducted on Pennsylvania State Game Lands 176 from 2009-2018. Within five years after prescribed fire, tree seedling density increased by more than 72% while sapling density decreased by 90%, midstory density dropped 46%, and depending on pre-fire conditions, overstory densities either increased or decreased to about 200 stems per hectare. However, not all tree species responded similarly and post-fire shifts in relative abundance occurred in the sapling and seedling size classes. Red maple and cherry abundance decreased while sassafras, quaking aspen, hickory, and black oak increased. Compositional shifts were most pronounced where pre-fire overstory thinning and two prescribed fires were applied. Other prescribed fire effects include litter depth increases, sustained duff losses, accumulation of coarse woody debris, and variability in fine woody debris over time. Forest response to prescribed fire is highly dependent upon pre-fire land use, management, weather, and vegetation. In context with other studies throughout eastern forests, we found post-fire structural changes are more consistent than compositional shifts. As scarce resources and burn windows limit prescribed fire use, management goals focused on forest structure can be achieved more readily and goals focused on forest composition will require a combination of long-term fire use and steady monitoring.
