Research Brief: Carbon dynamics of prescribed fire in pine- and oak-dominated forests on the mid-Atlantic coastal plain, USA

Long-term research at the USDA Forest Service Silas Little Experimental Forest is addressing two questions: 1) How does prescribed burning affect the carbon balance of mid-Atlantic forests? and 2) Can prescribed burning be used to enhance forest resilience following other disturbances?
