Terrestrial liming benefits birds in an acidified forest in the northeast.
Studies in Europe have reported negative effects of acid deposition on forest birds, and research in North America has identified links between forest bird abundance and rates of acid deposition. We examined the bird community in an acidified forest in central Pennsylvania (USA) and evaluated the effects of terrestrial lime application on birds. We used a before-after control-impact (BACI) stud...
متن کاملThe Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: Managing Forest Ecosystems
The accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to fossil fuel use, deforestation and other anthropogenic sources is changing the global climate (Harries et al. 2001; IPCC 2002). Current understanding of the global carbon cycle suggests that managing forests and agricultural lands to increase the sequestration of greenhouse gases (GHG) provide credible policy options (Dixon and Turner 1991, Winju...
متن کاملRunoff as Complexity Indicator for Terrestrial Ecosystems
Terrestrial ecosystems are often considered as among the structurally most complex systems that can be scientifically investigated. On the other hand, utilization techniques like forestry or water management, focussing on specific functional aspects, often follow relatively simple empirical rules, which led in the past to satisfying predictions. This apparent contradiction opens the question wh...
متن کاملRestoration of Natural Forest Ecosystems: The Genetic Resource
Restoration of many forest ecosystems will require replanting of native species. Choosing the proper seed source is essential to ensure long-term success of restoration plantings, especially if local seed sources are unavailable or genetically degraded. A successful restoration requires seed sources that are adapted to the climate and site, and are genetically diverse to allow subsequent reprod...
متن کاملApplied nucleation as a forest restoration strategy
The pace of deforestation worldwide has necessitated the development of strategies that restore forest cover quickly and efficiently. We review one potential strategy, applied nucleation, which involves planting small patches of trees as focal areas for recovery. Once planted, these patches, or nuclei, attract dispersers and facilitate establishment of new woody recruits, expanding the forested...
