Understanding wetland hydrology and water quality through data/process based modelling
(2018-04-24)
Rapid coastal development has led to loss/alteration of wetlands, streams, riparian vegetated areas and headwater areas that buffer coastal waterways from pollution. Small wetlands, besides being easily altered, have also ...
Assessing Occurrence and Habitat Characteristics of the Southeastern Pocket Gopher (Geomys pinetis)
(2018-01-10)
The southeastern pocket gopher (Geomys pinetis), a species of conservation concern in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, is of increasing conservation concern due to a range wide decline believed to be due to habitat loss and ...
Factors Influencing Tropical Forest Conservation: Evidence from the W Reserve
(2018-04-23)
We analyzed the factors that influence tropical forest resource conservation using the W Reserve in West Africa as the case study. Specifically, we first characterized the forms of pressure faced by the Reserve from the ...
A New Era for Forest Operations in the Southeastern Region of the United States
(2018-12-10)
Forest operations in the southeastern region of the United States has remained relatively unchanged since the inception of conventional mechanized equipment. As new technologies are developed, new operational techniques ...
Impacts of Drought and 40% Throughfall Reduction on Water Relations of a Longleaf Pine Stand
(2018-11-05)
Projections of increased frequency and severity of climatic- induced drought have raised concerns about the health, productivity and composition of forests in the southeastern United States. Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris ...
Fine Tuning the Environmental Benefits Index to Achieve Cost Savings for the Conservation Reserve Program
(2018-04-24)
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is the largest conservation program in the United States and was established in 1985. Over time, the conservation objectives of the program have broadened to include wildlife habitat, ...
The Ecology of Scatterhoarding in a Flooded Ecosystem
(2018-05-16)
Food hoarding is a strategy typically used by species that experience times with little food readily available. Scatterhoarders store single food items in many locations throughout their home range before the food-scarce ...
Factors Influencing Post-Capture Survival and Survival of Eastern Wild Turkeys in Alabama
(2018-05-16)
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) has recently initiated research on the eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) population due to perceived declines in abundance throughout ...
Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics of Alabama White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
(2018-07-23)
Understanding long-term dynamics of ectoparasite populations on hosts is essential to mapping the potential transmission of disease causing agents and pathogens. Blood feeding ectoparasites such as ticks, lice and keds ...
The Effects of 40% Throughfall Reduction on Soil Respiration in a Longleaf Pine Plantation
(2018-08-24)
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests can serve as disturbance-resistant, long-term carbon sinks, but net ecosystem productivity of longleaf pine forests has been shown to be sensitive to drought. Soil respiration (Rs) ...
