Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea): Reed canary grass is an aggressive, cool-season perennial grass that invades and dominates a variety of wetland types including marshes, wet prairies, sedge meadows, fens, stream banks, and seasonally wet areas. This species can also grow in disturbed areas and spoil piles. Roots spread extensively by creeping rhizomes and runners. Reed canary grass is difficult to eradicate and is one of the first wetland plants to emerge in the spring, enabling it to shade out native species that emerge later in the growing season.

Common reed (Phragmites australis): Common reed, or Phragmites, is a tall, perennial grass that can grow to over 15 feet in height. Phragmites forms dense stands which include both live stems and standing dead stems from previous year’s growth. Phragmites forms a dense network of roots and rhizomes which can go down several feet in depth. This pervasive species quickly invades sites taking over wetland communities and alters hydrology and habitat by blocking light to native plants and occupies the belowground growing space.

Priority Southeast U.S. Counties for Prescribed Burning Emphasis: This project was funded by NRCS and completed by NCSU in partnership with the Longleaf Alliance and Longleaf Implementation Teams (LIT) under America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative (ALRI). A set of counties within each of the 9 southern states in the longleaf pine range were identified by LIT staff as priority areas for implementation of prescribed burning efforts including executing on-the-ground burns, burn training workshops, establishment of Prescribed Burn Associations, and other activities where focused efforts can advance habitat management goals, improve forest health and mitigate wildfire risk.

Partners: This section lists key partners and provides detailed information about each.

SE FireMap - Technical Oversight Team: This is a private workspace for the SE FireMap Technical Oversight Team (Team), an advisory body to the current project funder, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, as well as its cooperative agreement partner the Endowment for Forestry and Communities and subawardee the Longleaf Alliance (these three collectively known as the Project Managers). In August 2019, applicants to the Team were solicited from partners and experts across the Southeastern U.S. Based on application forms and input from stakeholders, members were selected from among applicants responding to a Statement of Interest circulated by the Endowment for Forestry and Communities. The selected members possess relevant technical skills and experience, as well as networking capacity in the fire science community throughout the U.S., to support the SE FireMap project and ensure its success.
