Old-growth savannas and forests dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) are of great conservation and research interest. Comprehensive inventories of old-growth communities, however, are lacking for most of longleaf pine's natural range. We searched the literature,…

From Cone's Folly to Brosnan Forest and beyond: protecting red-cockaded woodpeckers on private lands
Policies to conserve endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) on private lands have evolved substantially over the last decade. To succeed, such policies must be responsive to the economic and regulatory realities faced by landowners. Landowner objectives vary…

The intentional use of fire adjacent to urban areas is much more difficult than burning in more rural areas. Numerous modifications in planning and execution are required. This paper describes some of the adjustments Florida fire managers have learned to make, most of which will…
