Progress Report II: Fire Management Options for Controlling Woody Invasive Plants in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic, U.S.
Dibble AC and Rees CA. 2003. Progress Report II: Fire Management Options for Controlling Woody Invasive Plants in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic, U.S.
In a region-wide study, we are quantifying the difference in fuel beds between forest stands that are invaded with non-native invasive plants and those that are not invaded or only slightly invaded. From Summary, 'In our second year of this project, we visited Acadia National Park on several occasions during the summer of 2002. Our goal was to identify additional sites suitable for collecting data. We explored the area at the end of Valley Cove Fire Road (Mount Desert) and the Witch Hole Pond (Bar Harbor) area in search of dense invasive vegetation. In the limited amount of time we had to explore the Park, we were unable to locate an area with the density of invasives we think might be necessary to detect a difference in fuels.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Great Meadow/The Tarn/Valley Cove Fire Road/Witch Hole Pond/
