Positive adjacency effects mediated by seed disperser birds in pine plantations.
This study examines the consequences of adjacent elements for a given patch, through their effects on zoochorous dispersion by frugivorous birds. The case study consists of pine plantations (the focal patch) adjacent to other patches of native vegetation (mixed patches of native forest and shrublands), and/or pine plantations. Our hypothesis is that input of native woody species propagules gene...
متن کاملFate of Residual Canopy Trees following Harvesting to Underplant Longleaf Pine Seedlings in Loblolly Pine Stands in Georgia
Over the past few decades, reports of forest health problems have concerned scientists and forest managers in loblolly pine forests of the southeastern United States. Several interacting factors likely contribute to observed reductions in loblolly pine health, including low resource availability on many upland sites that were once dominated by longleaf pine. Currently, land managers are interes...
متن کاملPine Plantations and New England Forestry
ORESTRY began to be promoted in New England only a little over a quarter century ago. In that period the federal Forest Service, the several associations, and later as they became established the state departments and forest schools have built up an immense campaign of education. This publicity has largely determined the popular conception of forestry and hence the direction of its growth. Almo...
متن کاملConcentration of Heavy Metals in Bark Samples of Pine Trees in Neishabur, Iran
Background and purpose: Heavy metals in urban air are major health threats and increase the risk of respiratory, cardiovascular, and cancers in humans. An efficient and low-cost method for monitoring these pollutants is using tree bark as a bioindicator. The purpose of this study was to measure the concentration of heavy metals by pine tree bark as a bioindicator in Neishabur, north-east of Ira...
متن کاملRestoration of Plant Communities in Former Pine Tree Plantations
As human populations encroach on more remote areas, tree plantations are frequently converted into suburban developments or conservation lands. The purpose of the current study was to compare the effects of restoration treatments on the abundance and biodiversity of two former pine plantations in northeast Florida. Restoration methods, which varied greatly in both environmental impact and effor...
