State forestry officials in Florida and Georgia are predicting low probability of a Southern Pine Beetle infestation
Most savannas and grasslands worldwide are sustained by frequent fires that kills the above-ground portion of long-lived plants that then resprout from belowground parts, including roots, rhizomes and other nutrient storage structures. However, very few studies have...
Over 46 years, the goal of the project was to remeasure all of the trees, and tally new recruits, at three year intervals indefinitely into the future.
Trees in North Florida and South Georgia are suffering from stress related to recent hurricanes, beetles and drought, but the issue may be temporary.
The annual longleaf cone crop report for the Southeast spells out a poor year for the iconic pine tree’s efforts at natural regeneration.
Bobwhite quail in the Apalachicola National Forest are likely to see an improvement in their habitat following a wildfire earlier in June. The “Quail Fire” burned about 350 acres during the first week of June in an area that is a focal point of the Upland Ecosystem...
There is an emerging issue in the Red Hills of an invasive grass, pitted bluestem (Bothriochloa pertusa), that is being noticed by land managers more regularly. As with any invasive species, early detection and eradication is key to avoid monoculture-forming grasses...

Join us in asking the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners to OPPOSE the Suncoast Connector toll road and its path through Jefferson County.
