Impact Assessment of a Trap-Neuter-Return Program on Selected Features of Auburn, Alabama Feral Cat Colonies
(2008-09-09)
Feral cats (Felis catus) are defined here as offspring of domestic cats raised without human socialization or cats that were previously owned that have reverted to a wild state not trusting humans. A feral cat colony ...
Biogeochemical Effects of Silvicultural Management on Intermittent Streamside Management Zones in the Coastal Plain of Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Three experimental intermittent watersheds in the Coastal Plain of Alabama were subjected to varying Streamside Management Zone (SMZ) silvicultural treatments in 2000: reference, partial cut, and clearcut. Biomass and ...
Implementing Residue Chippers On Harvesting Operation for Biomass Recovery
(2008-09-09)
Three operations that implemented a small residue chipper on their conventional logging operations were studied in 2006. Two of the jobs were thinning operations, the remaining operation conducted clearcuts. All three ...
Feral Pig (Sus scrofa) Survival, Home Range, and Habitat Use at Lowndes County Wildlife Management Area, Alabama
(2008-09-09)
Survival, home range, and habitat use are key components of feral pig ecology that can help wildlife biologists and land managers develop control methods for this species. Feral pigs were captured and released with ...
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 ...
The Use of Mechanical Thinning Treatments in Management of Small Stands at the Wildland Urban Interface
(2008-09-09)
This study analyzed the productivity and costs of mechanical thinning at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). It compared conventional commercial first thinning practices in even-aged loblolly pine plantations in the Southeast ...
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, ...
