Abstract

GILLIAM, F. S., AND N. L. CHRISTENSEN (Div. Biol., Kansas State Univ., Manhattan, KS 66506, and Dept. Bot., Duke Univ., Durham, NC 27706). Herb-layer response to burning in pine flatwoods of the lower Coastal Plain of South Carolina. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 113:42-45. 1986.-Cover of herb-layer species was estimated in flatwoods plots that received either no fire, winter fire, or winter fire followed by late summer fire. Cover and species richness were significantly higher in winter-burned areas compared to either unburned or summer-burned areas. Causes of these differences appeared to be related to seasonal differences in post-burn soil nutrient status.
