Prescribed burn regimes in the forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains have been a topic of research since the revival of fire management in the United states. The presented two studies address two important topics: the viability of long term dormant season burn regimes to reaching management goals, and how the seasonality of prescribed burning may influence sprouting dynamics of target species. The Fire and Fire Surrogate Site at Green River Game Land, Polk County, NC, provided forest structure and compositional data both before and after a 15-year, periodic dormant season burn regime. We found a significant decrease in smaller size class trees after the regime. Secondly, basal area of non-desirable mesophytic hardwoods, such as red ...
