Abstract

This paper summarizes the present knowledge on the effects of forest fires in the Pine Region of New Jersey. It is not the result of any one research project, but the combined result of research and observations. Its purpose is to acquaint foresters and others having some knowledge of forestry and conservation with the importance of forest fires and the part they have played in bringing the Pine Region of New Jersey to its present poor condition. It should be borne in mind that the facts presented here may not be applicable to other parts of the regional oak-pine type where climatic, growth, and soil conditions are different and where the stands contain other species. It applies specifically to Neil Jersey's Pine Region.
