\r\nThose who do not live in a fire forest like ours,\r\nand who do not understand prescibed burns, please read this,\r\n\r\nPrescribed Fire, Longleaf Alliance<\/a>:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nFrequent, low intensity, and often large scale, surface fires were\r\nthe dominant factor in shaping the longleaf pine ecosystems across\r\nthe historical range. This frequent fire regime, over generations,\r\nselected for longleaf pine’s fire-resistant attributes.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nPrescribed fire may be the best management tool that we have for\r\nattaining range-wide restoration and management of longleaf pine\r\necosystems. Increased frequency of fire leads to more diversity and\r\nabundance of grasses and forbs; seasonality of burn also plays a\r\nrole but is secondary to frequency.\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nThis wedge that I cut out of a deadfall pine tree that morning to get it out of a firebreak was fascinating to the helpers.\r\n

\r\nMax counted 92 rings.\r\nI counted 80.\r\nHow many do you count?\r\n\r\n\r\n
