| #15 | Burning outside the dormant season on pine survival and growth, ft. Dr. Morgan Varner & John Willis | 21 Sep 2021 | 00:53:21 | |
Due to concerns of damaging tree productivity, most prescribed burning has become limited to the dormant season, a practice that is inconsistent with the historical pattern of lighting-initiated fire. How different are the effects of seasonal biennial burning and which factors play the biggest role in survival? In this episode, Dr. Marcus Lashley turns to experts Dr. Morgan Varner, Director of Fire Research at Tall Timbers, and John Willis, Forest Researcher with the U.S. Forest Service, to break down the science behind the effects that varying seasonal burns have on pine survival and growth.

| #06 | The role of fire in perpetuating oak dominance in upland hardwoods, ft. Dr. Heather Alexander & Dr. Steve Brewer | 26 Jan 2021 | 00:55:36 | |
Fire was playing an important role in upland hardwood ecosystems when the current mature oaks germinated a century ago. While those mature oaks are still common in the overstory, the next generation of oaks to replace them are not present across much of the central hardwoods and Appalachian regions. Instead, fire exclusion over the last several decades allowed mesophytic (moisture-retaining) species like sweetgum and red maple to get established and begin a transition to non-oak dominance in these forests. In this week’s episode of Fire University, Dr. Marcus Lashley sits down with Dr. Heather Alexander of Auburn University and Dr. Steve Brewer of the University of Mississippi to discuss the role of fire in ensuring oak forests continue to flourish into the next generation, how changes in fuels and flammability affect our ability to burn, and why the problem is more complex than just reintroducing fire. Check out our YouTube video showing why the encroachment of non-oak species affects our ability to burn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sYbisKFdsI&list=PL8g7qBaBGDaS5pGA90-R-LH6h2i__KfbM&index=3&ab_channel=UFDEERLab

| #05 | The next generation of prescribed burning, ft. Dr. Morgan Varner & Kevin Hiers | 12 Jan 2021 | 00:48:38 | |
We may have more acres to burn than we have time, personnel, and resources to burn it. It is imperative that our tools become more efficient especially with ever-growing societal constraints and considerations. In this week’s episode of Fire University, Marcus Lashley sits down with Dr. Kevin Robertson, Dr. Morgan Varner, and Kevin Hiers at the Tall Timbers Research Station where they discuss the socio-ecological complexities of fire ecology and delve into the upcoming technological revolution leading us into the next generation of prescribed burning.

| #04 | Patch-burn-grazing as a strategy to manage grassland communities, ft. Dr. Sam Fuhlendorf & Bob Hamilton | 22 Dec 2020 | 00:48:43 | |
Fire and herbivory have always been important disturbances in grasslands and their interaction may be particularly important for wildlife habitat. In this week’s episode, we talk to Dr. Sam Fuhlendorf of Oklahoma State University and Bob Hamilton of The Nature Conservancy about using patch-burn-grazing to mimic that natural process. Strategic use of prescribed fire and cattle may lead to habitat improvements for wildlife while increasing cattle production.
