Efficiency of Surveying, Baiting, and Trapping Wild Pigs at Fort Benning, Georgia
(2009-12-16)
This study, conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia, sought to develop more efficient ways of surveying for and trapping wild pigs (Sus scrofa), an abundant, destructive invasive species found on Fort Benning. Game cameras set ...
Legacy Sediments in Southeastern United States Coastal Plain Streams
(2009-12-14)
Soil erosion and sedimentation are natural processes that occur throughout the landscape. However, athropogenic disturbances may result in an increase in either of these processes, or both. Many studies reported the extensive ...
Impacts of Land Use/Cover on Ecosystem Carbon Storage in Apalachicola, FL
(2009-03-10)
Rapid coastal development in response to a growing population raises concerns about human degradation of ecosystems. The importance of the carbon cycle and its role in climate regulation warrant the study of the effects ...
GPS and GIS Application and Analysis of Timber Harvesting Operations on Steep Terrain
(2009-05-19)
This study examined the productivity and site disturbance of a tree length harvesting system in the steep slope conditions of the Appalachian Highlands. Timber harvesting is a major industry in this area but has the potential ...
Biology and ecology of root-feeding beetles and ophiostomatoid fungi in sandhills longleaf pine stands
(2009-08-12)
Ophiostomatoid fungi, especially those of the genus Grosmannia Goid. and its Leptographium Lagerb.& Melin anamorphs, are vectored by beetles and have been implicated as factors in decline of loblolly pine (P. taeda L.) and ...
The Application of Precision Forestry Technologies in Logging Operations
(2009-12-14)
This study analyzed the use of precision technologies in logging operations, more specifically the use of machine monitoring systems, global positioning system (GPS), and geographic information systems (GIS) to monitor and ...
Patterns of Stress and Suitability of Camera Surveys for White-Tailed Deer
(2009-12-18)
We collected fecal samples to examine stress levels in a fenced population of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). The purpose of the study was to determine how stress levels fluctuated throughout the breeding ...
Relationships between forest structure and soil CO2 efflux in 50-year-old longleaf pine
(2009-12-17)
Global climate change and the accumulation of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), in the atmosphere, may be mitigated by the proper management of soils and forests through carbon (C) sequestration. Longleaf pine ...
Effects of Ozone Pollution and Climate Variability/Change on Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Terrestrial Primary Productivity and Carbon Storage in China
(2009-12-08)
Over the past several decades, China’s terrestrial ecosystems have experienced severe air pollution and other environmental changes. Quantifying how these environmental changes have affected carbon (C) fluxes and storage ...
