Fire is an important ecological process in the southern United States. Many animal and plant species evolved in the presence of fire, and many vegetation types thrive best when burned. Fire-dependent biota are declining,, because of fire suppression and landscape changes. Pine Bluff Arsenal has been working to restore pine savanna, a declining habitat, by reintroducing prescribed burns on part of the Arsenal. The report contains information on fire ecology, history and prescribed fire at Pine Bluff Arsenal.
