Description

Longleaf pine forests rely on the disturbance of fire in order to maintain a balanced ecosystem. To understand the importance of fire, this study examined the effects of fire suppression on aquatic invertebrates in ephemeral wetlands embedded in longleaf pine forests, an important habitat that links aquatic and terrestrial environments.
