Description

Abstract. -- A field experiment was conducted to study fire effects on woody plants in vegetation representing a gradient from dry to mesic types in southeastern Texas. There was little effect of fire on small sapling density or shrub cover, partly because post-fire recruitment of saplings by resprouting and germination was rapid. Fire caused declines in large saplings and small trees in most types, and in large trees in the drier vegetation types. That is, this study showed that fire effects varied according to vegetation type and stem size class; the effects were most pronounced for dry types and small trees. The effect of fire on stem density was lower in the mesic types probably because of differences in moisture, fuel characteristics, and species response. **********
