Fire in North American Wetland Ecosystems and Fire-Wildlife Relations: An Annotated Bibliography


14. Austin, D. F. 1976. Vegetation of southeastern Florida-1. Pine Jog. Fla. Sci. 
         39:230-235.

Frequent fires between the 1920's and 1946 decreased total floristic diversity in the Pine Jog ponded wet prairies. Invasion of cajeput tree and other exotic species has further changed these Florida wetlands. The entire Pine Jog region is undergoing secondary succession with wet prairies changing to pine flatwoods because of lowering of the water table by drainage. [K-L-S]
