Flammability Characteristics of Surface Fuels in a Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) Woodland

Fire, 2020
To investigate fuel flammability, we quantified burning characteristics of 21 fuel categories in a longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) woodland in central Alabama, USA. Litter was burned under controlled laboratory conditions.

Navigating multiple objectives, partners, and jurisdictions: Decision analysis for range‐wide conservation planning for an at‐risk species

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
We describe a collaborative, multi‐partner, multi‐objective structured decision making process to develop a range‐wide conservation planning framework to recover an at‐risk species—the gopher frog. The process identified optimal, site‐specific management strategies that balanced population outcomes and cost, depending on the weight decision makers ...

Effects of basal area on survival and growth of longleaf pine when practicing selection silviculture

Forest Systems, 2017
Aim of study: Uneven-aged (UEA) management systems can achieve multiple-use objectives, however, use of UEA techniques to manage longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests are still open to question, because of the species’ intolerance of competition.

Habitat fragmentation alters post‐dispersal more than pre‐dispersal seed predation through edge effects

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In addition to causing loss of biodiversity, habitat fragmentation can alter species interactions. Relative to well‐studied effects of fragmentation on mutualistic interactions like pollination, effects on antagonistic interactions remain poorly understood.

Persistence and potential of soil organic carbon in nature‐based climate solutions: A review of managed disturbances

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 811-830, May 2026.
Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Forest management for water yield: Assessing the barriers and impacts of privately-owned open pine woodlands in the Southeastern United States

Trees, Forests and People
In the Southeastern United States, freshwater resources are stressed due to human development, population growth, expansion of agricultural irrigation, and climate change.

Active interventions accelerate native plant recolonization following agricultural abandonment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our results show that combined canopy thinning and prescribed burning can accelerate natural recolonization in savanna systems. However, additional measures (e.g. seed addition) may be needed for weak‐dispersing species. These findings highlight the utility of integrating passive processes with active interventions to conduct efficient landscape‐scale ...

Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 520-535, May 2026.
A densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae (107 specimens) is presented, along with a new cryptic species from the southern United States. This species is locally abundant and genetically and morphologically distinct from other Lupulinae. An identification key is provided and phenological and ecological patterns are discussed.

29: MANAGEMENT OF WILD TURKEY HABITAT IN SOUTHERN FOREST TYPES

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973
The 12 million acres of national forests in the South provide much of the remaining opportunity for the public to hunt wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).
