- •
We analyze prescribed fire impacts on Southern Appalachian xeric pine-oak forests.
- •
Prescribed fire consistently reduced stand density.
- •
Changes in species composition varied in magnitude and direction.
- •
Fire effects varied with fire severity and elevation.
- •
Restoring pine-oak forests will require long-term commitment to fire management.
