Radial growth responses to gap creation in large, old Sequoiadendron giganteumYork, Robert A. et al. S. giganteum radial growth response
Questions: Do large, old Sequoiadondron giganteum trees respond to the creation of adjacent canopy gaps? Do other co-occurring tree species and younger S. giganteum adjacent to gaps also respond? What are the likely factors affecting growth responses? Location: Mixed-conifer forests of the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA. Methods: We measured the growth response of large, old S. gigante...
متن کاملGiant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) Regeneration in Experimental Canopy Gaps
Restoration of giant sequoia populations is a high priority for managers, but few experimental studies have examined the efficacy of restoration treatments. To inform giant sequoia restoration treatment options, we assessed the response of giant sequoia regeneration (germination, mortality, and growth) to experimental gaps within a native giant sequoia grove. We created experimental gaps, rangi...
متن کاملDensity Effects on Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) Growth Through 22 Years: Implications for Restoration and Plantation Management
vary distinctly between species and growth parameters, providing specific insights for predictions of competitive effects and corresponding management implications. We, therefore, focus on measuring the nature of the development of the density-growth relationships over time, an approach possible in this case because of the frequency and precision of measurements at regular intervals during stan...
متن کاملLong‐term demographic decline and late glacial divergence in a Californian paleoendemic: Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia)
Mediterranean ecosystems comprise a high proportion of endemic taxa whose response to climate change will depend on their evolutionary origins. In the California flora, relatively little attention has been given to the evolutionary history of paleoendemics from a molecular perspective, yet they number among some of the world's most iconic plant species. Here, we address questions of demographic...
متن کاملThe sequoia-loving sprite, a new genus and species of fungus gnat (Diptera, Mycetophilidae) from California
California is one of the most biologically diverse regions of the world, yet the diversity of fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae) remains largely undocumented within the state. A modest survey of these flies has led to the discovery of a new genus and species of gnat that lives alongside one of the most iconic trees in the world, the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Spritella sequoiaphila ge...
