Pigs by the sounder: wild pigs, whole sounder removal, and their effects on deer and turkey
(2021-01-06)
Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species in North America with known negative impacts on agricultural lands and native ecosystems. To explore one commonly used, but ill-described management strategy, we implemented ...
A Bird's-Eye View of Young Longleaf Pine
(2021-01-11)
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests are an endangered ecosystem and a primary focus for restoration in the US. Through the cost-share program Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ...
Resource Selection at Different Spatial Scales by Black Bears in Alabama
(2021-04-13)
Black bears are native throughout Alabama; however, historic populations have diminished, in part from decreased connectivity and habitat degradation. At present, only two small populations of black bears occur in Alabama. ...
Development of bio-based systems as pollutants removal for water remediation
(2021-04-23)
In the search of bio-based alternatives to develop systems that can improve water quality, cellulose nanofibril (CNF) were studied as scaffolds for the development of adsorbents for emerging and unregulated pollutants; in ...
Modeling Soil Moisture Dynamics in Wetlands
(2021-07-19)
Soil moisture distribution and fluxes are among the fundamental components of the hydrological cycle. One-dimensional Richard’s Equation (hereafter RE) is often used to represent the physics of water moisture distribution ...
Essays on US Forest Products Markets
(2021-07-20)
International trade of forest products plays a critical role in the economy of many countries around the world. Knowledge of market curves elasticities and the effect of currency exchange rates on goods trade are instrumental ...
The influences of phosphorus cycling on the tropical ecosystem carbon cycle-A process-based modeling study
(2021-08-03)
The biogeochemical processes of phosphorous (P), carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) in the Earth system are fully coupled, which shapes the structure, functioning, and dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems. However, incorporating ...
The Effects of Prescribed Fire on Wild Turkeys in the Talladega National Forest
(2021-12-02)
Previous research on the effects of prescribed fire on wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) has been primarily conducted on areas with burn units <300 ha in size. However, large-scale burning (i.e., >1,000 ha burn units) has ...
Identification and Distribution of Fungal Pathogens Associated with Loblolly Pine Defoliation and Tree Mortality in the Southeastern United States
(2021-12-03)
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a predominant timber species native to the southeastern United States. Since 2016, the species has been experiencing needle defoliation and tree mortality. Symptoms appear as yellowing to ...
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
(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. ...
