Jeffery Cannon, Landscape Ecology Lab

🌲💧 Check out this new work from our team, where we explore how forest restoration of open-pine systems, including loblolly and longleaf pine, can be strategically placed to boost streamflow. 📖 Read more in Scientific Reports: rdcu.be/eumhw

Episode 59: Vegetation–fuel–fire feedbacks in patches of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) regeneration — Association for Fire Ecology George Jensen, Benjamin Knapp, and Jeffery Cannon discuss how understanding structural complexity enhances understanding of the ecology and restoration of fire-maintained ecosystems.

Our lab joined the Fire Ecology Chats podcast to talk about vegetation–fuel–fire feedbacks in longleaf pine. Hear how George Jensen’s new research is helping understand regeneration & fire. 🔥🌲
