Tree Mortality following Prescribed Fire and a Storm Surge Event in Slash Pine (<i>Pinus elliottii</i> var. <i>densa</i>) Forests in the Florida Keys, USA

<table>Total pine tree mortality in the 18 experimental plots recorded over 8–10 years (8 years in 2000-S and 2000-O blocks, 9 years in 1999-S and 1999-O blocks, and 10 years in 1998-S and 1998-O blocks). Based on fire and storm-surge impacts, plots were in one of four groups: (i) unburned, (ii) burned, (iii) unburned+SS, and (iv) burned+SS. Burned referred to both prescribed burns (1998 and 2001) and nontargeted burns (2004). SS: Impacted by storm-surge caused by Hurricane Wilma in 2005.</table>
