Fire is a fundamental component of the Longleaf Pine ecosystem. As land managers seek to restore the Longleaf Pine at sites throughout the South, prescribed fire will be an integral part of their plan. However, the effects of prescribed fire on air quality are a serious concern…

Cool smoke treatments were applied to unmined Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah) forest soils, rehabilitated bauxite mine soils, and broadcast seed to determine if enhancement in germination could be effected with a view toward maximizng the establishment of species in bauxite mines…

Germinable seed stores were measured in jarrah forest soils at six sites during one year. The overall mean seed content to a depth of 5 cm was 292 seeds m-². There was a significant seasonal difference, with a maximum of 435 seeds m-² in summer, after the majority of species in…
