	abstract = {We characterized fire behavior and fuel consumption resulting from an understory prescribed burn in a mixed eastern white pine-hardwood stand in the Southern Appalachians.  Three stands were used for the treatment. Flame lengths, ranging from 0.3 to 1.5 meters (m) for backing fires and from 1.2 to 4.5 m for head fires, reached maximum heights where evergreen understory was found.  Rates of spread ranged from 1.8 to 3.0 m per minute for head fires and 0.3 m per minute for backing fires.  Fire intensity, measured with ceramic tiles painted with heat-sensitive paint, varied across stands.  Mean peak flame temperature ranged from 129 to 290},
