متن کاملIs oak establishment in old-fields and savanna openings context dependent?
1 Multiple factors are known to influence tree seedling establishment, yet the degree to which these factors depend on each other and on spatial context is largely unknown. We examined the influence of herbaceous competition and water and nitrogen limitations on tree seedling establishment as functions of distance from trees (within-site spatial context) and site history (between-site spatial c...
متن کاملTree and stand transpiration in a Midwestern bur oak savanna after elm encroachment and restoration thinning
Oak savannas, once common in the Midwest, are now isolated remnants within agricultural landscapes. Savanna remnants are frequently encroached by invasive trees to become woodlands. Thinning and prescribed burning can restore savanna structure, but the ecohydrological effects of managing these remnants are poorly understood. In this study, we measured sap flow (Js) to quantify transpiration in ...
متن کاملOak Savanna Restoration: A Case Study
A degraded oak savanna in southwestern Wisconsin is being restored using intensive cutting of undesirable shrubsbuckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), prickly ash (Zanthoxylum americanum), honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.)-and selective removal of trees that are crowding the open-grown bur (Quercus macrocar/Ja) and white (Q. alba) oaks. Land use records and historic aerial photographs have been used to guid...
متن کاملPatterns of oak regeneration in a Midwestern savanna restoration experiment
Savannas’ defining feature is a scattered tree layer. However, woody plants have encroached savannas throughout the world, altering tree densities and potentially modifying regeneration dynamics. We used a replicated large-scale restoration experiment with Midwestern oak savannas (USA) to understand spatial patterns of regeneration by the dominant overstory species, Quercus alba. Q. alba is not...
