Hydrologic Processes in the Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands: A Literature Review
Hydrologic processes in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of the western region of the United States are variable because of the inherent interactions among the occurring precipitation regimes, geomorphological settings, and edaphic conditions that characterize the ecosystem. A wide range of past and present land-use practices further complicates comprehensive evaluations of these hydrologic process...
متن کاملPatterns of mast production in pinyon and juniper woodlands along a precipitation gradient in central New Mexico (Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge)
This paper reports on an 8-year continuing project with the Sevilleta Long-Term Ecological Research program (LTER) in central New Mexico aimed at the study of dynamics of woodland ecosystems. The study of mast production was conducted at six experimental woodland sites situated across an elevational gradient of 1500–2000m in proximity to permanent meteorological stations. The dominant woody spe...
متن کاملRapidly eroding piñon-juniper woodlands in New Mexico: response to slash treatment.
The piñon (Pinus edulis Engelm.)-juniper [Juniperus monosperma (Engelm.) Sarg.] woodlands of Bandelier National Monument are experiencing accelerated erosion. Earlier studies suggest that causes of these rapidly eroding woodlands are related to an unprecedented rapid transition of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa C. Lawson) savanna to piñon-juniper woodlands as a result of cumulative historical ...

متن کاملRestoring grassland savannas from degraded pinyon-juniper woodlands: effects of mechanical overstory reduction and slash treatment alternatives.
Although the distribution and structure of pinyon-juiper woodlands in the southwestern United States are thought to be the result of historic fluctuations in regional climatic conditions, more recent increases in the areal extent, tree density, soil erosion rates and loss of understory plant diversity are attributed to heavy grazing by domestic livestock and interruption of the natural fire reg...
