Tree seedling densities before the prescribed burn (1994) and the first (1995), second (1996), and tenth (2005) growing seasons after the burn: a) ridge, pine/hardwood community, b) mid-slope, mixed-oak community, and c) riparian, cove-hardwood community. Species codes: ACERUB = Acer rubrum; AMEARB = Amelanchier arborea; Carya = Carya spp.; HALCAR = Halesia carolina; OXYARB = Oxydendron arboreum; PRUSER = Prunus serotina; QUECOC= Quercus coccinea; QUEMON = Quercus montana; QUERUB = Quercus rubra; QUEVEL = Quercus velutina; ROBPSE = Robinia pseudoacacia; SASALB = Sassafras albidum; PINRIG = Pinus rigida. Species nomenclature and authorities follow Kirkman et al. (2007). Total number of seedlings have standard error bars with different letters to denote significant differences (P < 0.05) based on repeated measures analysis of variance (PROC MIXED 2002–2003), followed by a Tukey-Kramer adjusted t-test.
