Pondcypress (Taxodium distichum var. ascendens) swamps were studied to assess the impacts of fire on cypress regeneration. Transects were established in 1990 in swamps that were burned by wildfires in 1985, in swamps that were burned by prescribed fires in 1985, and in swamps with no recent fire history. Although basal sprout reproduction by cypress was common in the burned swamps, no seedlings were found. This suggests that other factors, such as hydroperiod, are important in regeneration of cypress swamps. © by the Florida Academy of Sciences, Inc. Abstract reproduced by permission.
