This study was established to determine: (1) the effect of a prescribed burn during the spring and summer seasons on wildlife habitat with particular emphasis on bobwhite quail food plants, and (2) the relation between various site and stand factors of the loblolly pine community and the occurrence and production of legume plants. The study was also designed as to quantify variations in the legume-loblolly pine association of the Piedmont.
