(2013-11-11)
Logging employees need training and most of the time the get that training on the job. Vocational logging training helps logging machine operators to improve work performance including job quality, productivity, and safety. ...
Biennial Seasonal Burning and Hardwood Control Effects on the Carbon Sequestration in a Natural Longleaf Pine Ecosystem
(2008-09-09)
This study has been superimposed on a study established in 1973 on the Escambia Experimental Forest located in south-central Alabama, USA to examine the effects of different seasons of burn and hardwood control treatments ...
Sediment Yield along an Actively Managed Streamside Management Zone
(2010-07-15)
In this study, we aim to regenerate a mature streamside management zone (SMZ) and create an uneven-aged forest with multiple canopy tiers and a dense understory using single tree selection (based on the Proportional-B ...
Use of Ethylenediurea (EDU) to Assess Ozone Effects on Native Vegetation
(2008-09-09)
Ground-level (tropospheric) ozone (O3) is the most significant phytotoxic gaseous pollutant in the eastern United States. Plants are subjected to acute and chronic exposures of tropospheric O3 that can cause foliar injury ...
Riparian Woody Plant Diversity, Composition, and Structure across an Urban-Rural Land Use Gradient in the Piedmont of Georgia, US
(2008-09-09)
Riparian forests are increasingly threatened by urban expansion and land use change worldwide. Understanding the impacts of urbanization on riparian forests is critical because riparian areas provide a variety of important ...
Interregional Aspects of Timber Inventory Projections

The overall goal of this study is to explore interregional aspects of modeling timber supply. Three separate papers are presented in this dissertation.
The first paper (Chapter 3) presents an econometric analysis of ...
Influence of microtopography and nutrient limitation on belowground productivity in an old-growth floodplain forest at Congaree National Park, SC, USA
(2014-02-07)
This study was designed to improve our understanding of nutrient cycling, C storage and belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) in an old-growth floodplain forest. Four microsites were established parallel to the ...
