Reintroduction of fire (January 1995) 45 years after last burn (1950), by using a heading fire to remove needle drape fuel in midstory. Heading fire used under moist conditions to get flame heights up to mid-story to reduce fuels but consumption of litter layer on soil surface was minor. Needle drape fuels burn quickly and cause little scorch to overstory canopy. Flomatin, Alabama |
