Mesophytic litter dampens flammability in fire‐excluded pyrophytic oak–hickory woodlands
Abstract Fire exclusion in eastern North American Quercus–Carya woodlands has resulted in overstory compositional changes, linked to altered fuel composition, structure, and ultimately, altered fire regimes. These compositional changes have been implicated in a dampening effect on fire behavior in f...
