Abstract
Examines photosynthesis of two species as an indicator of stress across a gradient of soil disturbance at Fort Benning, Georgia. Increasing disturbance in the absence of prescribed burns decreased net photosynthesis. However, prescribed burning in the previous year and increasing disturbance resulted in increased photosynthesis.Suggested Citation
