Changes in Forest Structure Associated with Oak Decline in Severely Impacted Areas of Northern Arkansas
that 286,000 ha in Arkansas were affected by the oak decline. In 2002 and 2003, Guldin et al. (2006) established 181 field plots in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma and estimated that 33% of red oak density (trees/ha) and 30% of red oak basal area in the region were dead or dying. Kabrick et al. (2004) studied nine forested sites in southern Missouri ranging in size from 312 to 514 ha. They rep...
متن کاملLong-term changes in forest structure and species composition of an upland oak forest in Arkansas
Describing long-term dynamics in oak stands is hindered by a lack of archival data. In this study, archival data from the 1934 inventory of a 673ha area within the Sylamore Experimental Forest were compared to a recent 2002 inventory to quantify changes in forest structure and species composition of this upland oak forest in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. When established in 1934, the Sylamor...
متن کاملModeling the Effects of Harvest Alternatives on Mitigating Oak Decline in a Central Hardwood Forest Landscape
Oak decline is a process induced by complex interactions of predisposing factors, inciting factors, and contributing factors operating at tree, stand, and landscape scales. It has greatly altered species composition and stand structure in affected areas. Thinning, clearcutting, and group selection are widely adopted harvest alternatives for reducing forest vulnerability to oak decline by removi...
متن کاملepidemiology of oak decline: spatial-temporal mortality pattern of oak in a golestan chestnut-leaved oak forest (case study: qoroq forest park)
evaluating the population density and spatial pattern of infected trees are one of the important criteria for selecting the management method and epidemiology of forest diseases. this study aimed at assessing the damage intensity and spatial-temporal mortality patterns of oak in qoroq forest park, golestan province. the health of oak trees was evaluated in seven transects by using quarter-point...
متن کاملA Review on Ecological Causes of Oak Decline Phenomenon in Forests of Iran
In this study, all the papers about oak decline phenomena in forests of Iran have been reviewed. One hundred and twelve papers from 51 journals were reviewed, and the information presented in each paper was analyzed and finally summarized. Eighty seven percent of the papers were about Brant’s oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.). Most of the studies were focused on the pest and desease of oak decline. ...
