Abstract
Density of vascular plants in different longleaf pine understory communities were compared in this study. Ageratina aromatica density was greater in burned wiregrass communities than in burned sites dominated by Andropogon or in unburned sites. Hypericum tetrapetalum was found more commonly in burned, wiregrass dominated, xeric depressions.Suggested Citation
