The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of prescribe burning and litter removal on soil nutrient levels and tree growth. An additional objective was to determine if nitrogen can be replaced with the application of fertilizer. There were no statistically significant changes in the soil nutrient levels of tree growth after six years, but there were significant changes in forest floor weights and nutrient levels
