Shaped by fire for thousands of years, the forests of the western United States are as adapted to periodic fires as they are to the region's soils and climate. Our widespread practice of ignoring the vital role of fire is costly in both ecological and economic terms, with…

From the text...'These results indicate that smoke treatments dramatically improve germination of Georgia plume seeds, suggesting that controlled bums may be a useful technique for enhancing seedling recruitment in natural populations. As a result of our study, the GPCA will…
