Changes in Southern Piedmont Grassland Community Structure and Nutritive Quality Under Future Climate Predictions: Tropospheric Ozone and Altered Rainfall
(2011-05-19)
Tropospheric (ground-level) ozone (O3) is the most significant phytotoxic air pollutant in the United States. It is readily transported to rural agricultural and forested areas from urban centers. Estimating the effects ...
Designing landscapes for bird conservation in the Southeastern United States
(2012-06-22)
The Southeastern United States has high conservation importance because of the region's habitat and species diversity, ecological processes, and evolutionary potential; however, it also warrants strong concern because of ...
Impact of Interacting Disturbances on Longleaf Pine Communities
(2008-09-09)
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 ...
Relationships between plant biomass and cover in the ground cover layer of longleaf pine forests at Fort Benning, GA
(2013-12-04)
Interest in restoring longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystems has recently grown but little information is available for estimating biomass in the highly diverse ground cover layer of longleaf pine forests. ...
Pinning Down the Change: A Community-Level Study of Timberland Ownership Change
(2014-05-13)
Over the last twenty years, the forest products industry has sold much of its land base
throughout the U.S. The majority of that land is being transferred from corporations in what was
a traditional vertically-integrated ...
Use of N-mixture models for estimating white-tailed deer populations and impacts of predator removal and interspecific competition
(2014-04-25)
Predation and competition can have significant effects on population dynamics. Range expansion of coyotes (Canis latrans) and the growing number of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) can negatively impact white-tailed deer (Odocoileus ...
Spatiotemporal Breeding Strategies within a High Density, Male-skewed White-tailed Deer Population
(2014-05-12)
Animal movement is an integral part of most ecological, behavioral, or evolutionary processes observed in nature, and it has wide implications to numerous broad issues ranging from dispersal and migration to habitat ...
A Decision Support Tool: Integrating Wildlife Occupancy Models with Stand Projections
(2011-08-16)
With the increase in consumptive trends of wood products there is greater push for ecosystem management. Ecosystem management is a process that aims to conserve major ecological services and restore natural resources while ...
Two-year Bark and Ambrosia Beetle Diversity Study at the Talladega National Forest in the Southeastern United States
(2011-05-16)
Over two year period (March 2008 to February 2010), bark and ambrosia beetles were captured in three different trap types (intercept panel, flight intercept and pitfall) at the Talladega National Forest in Chilton, Bill ...
Production of Bioethanol and Furan Derivatives from Softwood Hemicellulose
(2011-06-06)
Woody biomass provides a great potential for the biofuels production in the United States. Hemicellulose accounts for 20-30% of dried woody biomass, which can be readily broken down to simple sugars (primarily xylose and ...
