Impact of Interacting Disturbances on Longleaf Pine Communities
(2008-09-09)
Disturbance in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris P. Mill.) communities alters the structure, function, and composition of the forest. Species heterogeneity and diversity were investigated at the Escambia Experimental Forest ...
Demand for Urban Forests: A National and Regional Study
(2009-02-23)
Various public policies have been designed to protect our green spaces and stimulate the demand for urban forests within communities. However, very few studies have been conducted to uncover the factors influencing the ...
Predicting Light Transmittance and Seedling Growth Across a Gradient of Riparian Forest Canopy Structures
(2009-02-23)
In response to shifts in forest management that have favored continued retention of forest cover, the objective of this study was to explore how forest structure influences the understory light environment and seedling ...
The Effects of Forest Management on Habitat Quality for Black Bears in the Southern Appalachians
(2008-09-09)
Studies of habitat selection have been used to understand the effects of forest management on habitat quality for black bears (Ursus americanus), but results have been incomplete because all behavioral studies have been ...
Prediction of Distribution for Total Height and Crown Ratio Using Normal Versus Other Distributions
(2008-09-09)
Relative to the other southern pine species, many aspects of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) growth are poorly understood due to the lack of detailed studies and modeling efforts. With changes occurring in the ecosystem ...
Seasonal variation in sex ratios and survival rates of white-tailed deer fawns
(2008-09-09)
The ability of a female to adjust the sex ratio of her offspring has been well documented in numerous mammalian species. However, few studies have deviated from focusing on maternal condition as the driving factor concerning ...
Restoration of Native Plants Through Chemical Control of Alligatorweed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) at Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge
(2008-09-09)
Moist-soil management is a technique used to improve quality of wetland habitats for a variety of waterbird species, but alien invasive plant species may impact success of moist-soil management. Alligatorweed (Alternanthera ...
Demography of Feral Pig Populations at Fort Benning, Georgia
(2008-09-09)
Feral pigs are an ecologically harmful invasive species that wildlife managers have been unsuccessful at controlling. Understanding the demography and population dynamics of a species is necessary to create successful ...
Empirical analysis of campaign contributions and Congressional 'greeness'
(2008-09-09)
“Legislators possess political assets that economic interest groups may find valuable in pursuing their goals”. This quote made by Kevin Grier and Michael Munger provides the impetus for my analysis. In the following paper ...
Population Ecology of Northern Bobwhites
(2008-09-09)
The longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem is an ecologically significant region of North America, yet its geographic extent has been greatly reduced by several factors including anthropogenic fire suppression. There ...
