Assessing the Potential Utility of Select State-owned Lands for Vertebrate Conservation

Allgood, DeForrest, Jr. (2010-12-17)

With limited resources available for conservation, it is imperative that efficient state conservation plans be developed to protect species of greatest conservation need (GCN species). Through the Inventory and Conservation ...

Effect of Forest Structure on the Understory Light Environment and Growth Potential of Oak Seedlings in a Closed Canopy Riparian Forest

Ostrom, Bradford (2005-12-15)

This research was designed to examine the relationship between the residual structure following low intensity partial cutting regimes and the light characteristics found in a riparian hardwood forest. The relationships ...

Exploring natural and artificial regeneration techniques for developing high-quality bottomland oak stands

Taylor, Troy (2005-12-15)

Bottomland hardwood forests of the southeastern United States are among the most diverse and productive in the country. In the past, many of these areas were not managed soundly for timber production and, as a result, are ...

Impact of Interacting Disturbances on Longleaf Pine Communities

Estes, Becky (2006-12-15)

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 ...

Influence of Competition on Longleaf Pine Seedling Recruitment in Selection Silviculture

Dyson, David (2010-01-13)

The longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystem’s decline has resulted in the loss of 97 percent of the 24-36 million hectares it covered prior to European settlement, but interest in longleaf pine restoration and ...

Physiological and Phenological Responses to Experimental Throughfall Reduction and Parameterization of the 3-PG Model for Modeling Long-Term Responses to Climate Change in Longleaf Pine Forests

Custodio Mendonca, Caren (2021-11-29)

Ongoing changes in the earth’s climate are having profound effects on forest ecosystems in many regions. Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) is considered one of the most drought-resistant pines in the southeastern U.S. ...

Predicting Light Transmittance and Seedling Growth Across a Gradient of Riparian Forest Canopy Structures

Lhotka, John (2006-05-15)

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 ...

Sediment Yield along an Actively Managed Streamside Management Zone

Kara, Ferhat (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 ...

Silvicultural Disturbances Affect on Root-feeding Bark Beetle Populations and the Incidence of Ophiostomatoid Fungal Species Contributing to Southern Pine Decline

Zeng, Yuan (2012-04-12)

Root-feeding beetles and weevils are known to be vectors of ophiostomatoid fungi which contribute to Southern Pine Decline (SPD) in the southeastern United States. This study examined population changes of Hylastes spp. ...

Uneven-aged Management of Longleaf Pine Forests Using Selection Silviculture

Kara, Ferhat (2015-04-07)

Approximately 38 million hectares were dominated by longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests in the Southeastern United States prior to European settlement. Frequent disturbances, especially fire, made this species ...

The Use of Mechanical Thinning Treatments in Management of Small Stands at the Wildland Urban Interface

Folegatti, Bruno (2004-12-15)

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 ...
