Effects of Sediment Deposition on Aboveground Net Primary Productivity, Vegetation Composition, Structure, and Fine Root Dynamics in Riparian Forests
(2008-09-09)
This study examined how increased sediment deposition from anthropogenic disturbance impacts functions performed by riparian forests associated with ephemeral streams. Specifically, this study looked into aboveground net ...
Influence of Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense Lour.) on Riparian Forests of the Southern Piedmont: Net Primary
(2008-09-09)
The spread of invasive, nonnative vegetation in the Southeast has been identified as a critical concern for the maintenance of ecosystem biodiversity and impacts on the forest industry. One example of such a species is ...
Extended Working Hours in the Southeastern Logging Industry
(2008-09-09)
Logging business owners are exploring the ways to reduce equipment costs. Although shift work is common in some other industries, it is not common in the logging industry in the southeastern United States. Implementation ...
Spatial Ecology of Male White-Tailed Deer in the Crosstimbers and Prairies Ecoregion
(2008-09-09)
We examined daily movement paths of radio-collared male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) during the breeding season (Oct. 1st- Dec. 15th), from 1995-1997, at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant (McAAP) in ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
