Dibble AC and Rees CA. 2003. Fire management options for controlling woody invasive plants in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic US: Progress Report II, Manassas National Battlefield. USDA Forest Service
In a study to quantify the difference in fuel beds between forest stands that are invaded with non-native invasive plants and those that are not, Carter and Brawner Woods, in Manassas National Battlefield, were surveyed. Brawner Woods was classified as an invaded area after surveys were conducted, and Carter Woods was classified as uninvaded and used for comparison. The authors reported that 1 hour fuels were significantly greater in the invaded stand. In addition, the uninvaded stand had significantly deeper duff than the invaded stand where the dominant invasives were shrubs and vines.
