Abstract

Prescribed burning is useful in managing pine-oak forests in the Pine Region of southern New Jersey. It favors reproduction of pine by preparing suitable seed beds; it checks the development of hardwood reproduction; and it protects against wild fires by reducing the amount of fuel on the forest floor.
