The Effect of Restoration Treatments on the Spatial Variability of Soil Processes under Longleaf Pine Trees

The objectives of this study were to (1) characterize tree-based spatial patterning of soil properties and understory vegetation in frequently burned (“reference state”) and fire-suppressed longleaf pine forests; and (2) determine how restoration treatments affected patterning. To attain these objec...
