“…Low-to moderate-intensity surface fires topkill most hardwood reproduction, including the oaks (Ferguson 1961, Lotti et al 1960, McCarthy and Simms 1935, Paulsell 1957, Waldrop et al 1992. The ability of oak seedlings to sprout postfire increases exponentially as basal diameter increases (Dey and Hartman 2005).…”

“…A single fire usually decreases the density of small saplings (≤3-inch d.b.h.) by causing stem dieback and formation of sprout clumps (Henning and Dickmann 1996, Paulsell 1957, Thor and Nichols 1973, Van Lear and Waldrop 1991, Waldrop et al 1992. Repeated low-intensity burning or a single hot growing season fire can increase the amount of basal area reduction (Brose et al 2013b, Fan et al 2012, Hutchinson et al 2005b).…”

“…The study was established in 1946 with annual and periodic (every 3 to 5 years) burning conducted in summer and winter until Hurricane Hugo severely damaged the study in September 1989. Waldrop et al (1992) reported on changes to vegetation through 43 years of treatment. When plots were burned every 3 to 5 years, either in summer or winter, trees >5-inch d.b.h.…”

Guidelines for using prescribed fire to regenerate and restore upland oak forests, woodlands, and savannas in eastern North America were developed by synthesizing the results of more than 100 scientific publications. The first four chapters provide background information on the values of oak ecosystems, eastern fire history, oak's adaptations to fire, and the findings of fire-oak research conducted over the past 50 years. The final chapter synthesizes that background information into guidelines that explain how to use prescribed fire to facilitate oak seedling establishment, release oak reproduction from competing mesophytic hardwoods, and rehabilitate open oak woodlands, oak savannas, and scrub oak communities. A reference section is also provided for readers desiring to delve more deeply into the associations between periodic fire and oak forests, woodlands, and savannas.

“…This has historically been a well-supported concept with similar findings from Garren (1943); Wright and Bailey (1982); Evans (1988); Landers, Byrd, and Komarek (1990); Abrahamson and Hartnett (1990);and Waldrop, White, and Jones (1992). Fire has also exhibited benefits for other types of herbaceous vegetation.…”

“…Fruiting by huckleberry, running oak, dangleberry, dwarf blueberry, gaUberry, dewberry, chokeberry and blackberry was inhibited the first year after prescribed burning, but peaked, depending on species, 2, 3, or 4 years after burning (Johnson and Landers 1978). also found similar responses in finiiting behavior in huckleberry, blueberry, blackberry, dewberry, gooseberry, and gallberry, while Waldrop, White, and Jones (1992) noted prolific growth of huckleberry and blueberry after burning. Although burning injures the jftiiit supply for the foUowing year, occasional pruning of finaiting shrubs by fire is beneficial for finiit production 2 to 4 years later (Stoddard 1962;).…”

Management and climate contributions to satellite‐derived active fire trends in the contiguous United States

et al. 2014

Fires in croplands, plantations, and rangelands contribute significantly to fire emissions in the United States, yet are often overshadowed by wildland fires in efforts to develop inventories or estimate responses to climate change. Here we quantified decadal trends, interannual variability, and seasonality of Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations of active fires (thermal anomalies) as a function of management type in the contiguous U.S. during 2001–2010. We used the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity database to identify active fires within the perimeter of large wildland fires and land cover maps to identify active fires in croplands. A third class of fires defined as prescribed/other included all residual satellite active fire detections. Large wildland fires were the most variable of all three fire types and had no significant annual trend in the contiguous U.S. during 2001–2010. Active fires in croplands, in contrast, increased at a rate of 3.4% per year. Cropland and prescribed/other fire types combined were responsible for 77% of the total active fire detections within the U.S and were most abundant in the south and southeast. In the west, cropland active fires decreased at a rate of 5.9% per year, likely in response to intensive air quality policies. Potential evaporation was a dominant regulator of the interannual variability of large wildland fires, but had a weaker influence on the other two fire types. Our analysis suggests it may be possible to modify landscape fire emissions within the U.S. by influencing the way fires are used in managed ecosystems.Key PointsWildland, cropland, and prescribed fires had different trends and patternsSensitivity to climate varied with fire typeIntensity of air quality regulation influenced cropland burning trends
