| Abstract: | To test the hypothesis that repeated prescribed fires alone can improve the status of oak regeneration, a long-term seedling population study was established to follow permanently tagged chestnut oak (Q. prinus L.), scarlet oak (Q. coccinea Muenchh.), and red maple (Acer rubrum L.) seedlings over 8 years in sites where fire was excluded, and where fire was applied either three (3×) or four (4×) times. |
