Comments on Management:
This species is declining primarily from the loss of habitat due to development. other threats include: the absence of disturbance processes necessary for establishment, overshading by canopy closure, and total canopy removal for powerline right of way. manipulation of the canopy cover or scarification of the substrate is needed where natural occurrence of such disturbance is infrequent. prescribed burns have a neutral to beneficial influence *04*.
