Predicting the invasion and survival of the exotic species Paulownia tomentosa following burning in pine and oak-pine forests: Final Report for the Joint Fire Science Program

Kuppinger D, White P, Jenkins M. 2006. Predicting the invasion and survival of the exotic species Paulownia tomentosa following burning in pine and oak-pine forests: Final Report for the Joint Fire Science Program

Utilizing plot data from five fires, this study analyzes the effects of fire severity, season of burn, environmental conditions, and the relative location of mature Paulownia trees on Paulownia seedling abundance and vigor within sampled plots to determine under what conditions Paulownia seedlings are likely to survive to maturity. This Project report also contains Kuppinger's dissertation.
