Transient Population Dynamics and Population Momentum in Vertebrates
(2008-09-09)
Maintenance of sustainable wildlife populations is one of the primary purposes of wildlife management. Thus, it is important to monitor and manage population growth and size over time. Population structure (i.e., age, ...
Hydrology, Water Quality, and Channel Morphology Across an Urban-rural Land Use Gradient in the Georgia Piedmont, USA
(2008-09-09)
The southeastern United States is experiencing rapid urban development. Consequently, Georgia’s streams have been threatened by hydrologic alteration, nutrient and bacteriological impairment, and channel morphometry changes ...
Timber Industry Consolidation and the Need for Scale Appropriate Harvesting Mechanisms in Alabama's Black Belt
(2008-09-09)
The consolidation and technological development of the forest industry in west Alabama’s Black Belt has lead to a growing disjunction between the needs of small forestland owners and the capabilities of logging operations ...
Presettlement Vegetation and Fire in Escambia and Covington Counties, Alabama
(2008-09-09)
This study was the first to examine presettlement forests in the lower coastal plain of Alabama. The primary data source is General Land Office public land survey field notes, which contain an unintentional, but systematic ...
Creating Spatial Probability Distributions for Longleaf Pine Ecosystems Across East Mississippi, Alabama, the Panhandle of Florida, and West Georgia
(2008-09-09)
Longleaf ecosystems have severely decreased in total area since pre-European settlement. These dramatic losses are the principle reason for the listing of many plants and animals as endangered, and have been the driving ...
Effect of Forest Structure on the Understory Light Environment and Growth Potential of Oak Seedlings in a Closed Canopy Riparian Forest
(2008-09-09)
This research was designed to examine the relationship between the residual structure following low intensity partial cutting regimes and the light characteristics found in a riparian hardwood forest. The relationships ...
Population Pressure, Land Tenure, Deforestation, and Farming Systems in Haiti: The Case of Foret Des Pins Reserve
(2008-09-09)
Forêt des Pins Reserve, a state-owned natural forest in Haiti, has suffered severe degradation due to a land tenure system that does not guarantee security for farmers, illegal harvesting of trees for the production of ...
Environmental parameters related to growth of submersed aquatic vegetation in the lower Mobile Delta, Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Light availability and soils influence growth of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV). My objectives in this study were to determine relationships between these environmental parameters and distribution and abundance of ...
Exploring natural and artificial regeneration techniques for developing high-quality bottomland oak stands
(2008-09-09)
Bottomland hardwood forests of the southeastern United States are among the most diverse and productive in the country. In the past, many of these areas were not managed soundly for timber production and, as a result, are ...
