A new fact sheet (pdf) by Dr. Kevin Robertson from Tall Timbers Research Station explores the relationships between prescribed fire and carbon in longleaf pine ecosystems. The fact sheet also discusses future research opportunities that have the potential to make progress in our understanding of carbon dynamics in these complex fire-dependent ecosystems. The fact sheet was instrumental in getting prescribed fire added to the USDA Climate Smart Priorities List for FY24.
