projects > fire ecology of south florida wetlands
Project Personnel: Curt Schaeffer
The main objective of the study is to establish the baseline conditions and begin the experimental treatments for a long-term study of season and frequency of burning in pinelands and associated cypress wetlands in Big Cypress National Preserve. The long-term study will document the ecological effects of a wide range of potential fire management strategies. The research will provide detailed data on vegetation responses to different burning regimes that will be considered along with wildlife, public safety, and other management concerns in refining prescribed burning programs of Interior lands in South Florida.
