Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire....
