This study investigated effects of post-wind disturbance salvage harvesting, a unique compound disturbance of which the ecological consequences are unresolved, in fire-restored longleaf pine woodlands of the Alabama Fall Line Hills, a characteristically biodiverse and rare ecosystem. Plot-level data were collected May–June 2016 in areas undisturbed, wind-disturbed, and compound-disturbed (salvage harvested within seven months of an April 2011 EF3 tornado). Disturbance-mediated differences in (1) physical site conditions, (2) woody plant composition and structure, and (3) ground flora (herbaceous and woody plants ≤ 1 <span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">m in height) were assessed. Multivariate analyses revealed distinct differences in ground flora across disturbance categories. Biophysical drivers most correlated with differences in species assemblages included volume of <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/coarse-woody-debris" title="Learn more about Coarse woody debris" class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 115, 152); word-break: break-word;">coarse woody debris</a><span class="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">, sapling density, percent <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/canopy-biology" title="Learn more about Canopy (biology)" class="" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 115, 152); word-break: break-word;">canopy</a> cover, and basal area. Unharvested wind-disturbed plots had the greatest diversity of saplings and ground flora, and had indicator species with unique habitat requirements (specialists). Indicator species of compound-disturbed plots were mostly generalists that also had a relatively high frequency and abundance in the other disturbance categories. Reduced plant diversity on compound-disturbed plots was attributed to salvage harvest-mediated reductions in habitat heterogeneity and resource availability. Thus, leaving patches unharvested within salvaged stands is recommended to promote stand-scale plant diversity.</span></span></p></div></div></div><div class="Keywords" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(235, 235, 235); padding-bottom: 32px; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><div class="keywords-section" id="kg005" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div></div><div class="">
