Variability in historic fire regimes in eastern North America resulted in an array of oak natural
communities that were dominant across the region. In the past century, savannas and …

Prescribed fire is often used in upland oak forests to achieve objectives related to woodland
restoration or oak regeneration. While not uncommon for prescriptions to include repeated …

Abstract In the Midwestern United States, oak savannas have been reduced in area by at
least 99% since European settlement, mirroring global trends for savannas, grasslands, and …

We present a reconceptualization of forests in eastern North America by differentiating the
ecological characteristics of open oak (Quercus) and pine (Pinus) forests from closed …

The removal of fire's influence on plant community succession has resulted in the near

Light and soil nitrogen availability can be strong controls of plant nitrogen (N) fixation, but
data on how understory N‐fixing plants respond to these drivers are limited despite their …

Background In oak-dominated communities throughout eastern North America, fire
exclusion and subsequent woody encroachment has replaced the “glitter” of once robust …

Herbivory and fire are known to shape plant community structure and function in savanna
ecosystems worldwide, yet these drivers are increasingly being altered in their behaviour, or …

Forest management is increasingly focused on enhancing native biodiversity. In temperate
forests, a common goal is to increase native plant diversity of the ground flora and …
