Using Silviculture to Influence Carbon Sequestration in Southern Appalachian Spruce-Fir Forests
Enhancement of forest growth through silvicultural modification of stand density is one strategy for increasing carbon (C) sequestration. Using the Fire and Fuels Extension of the Forest Vegetation Simulator, the effects of even-aged, uneven-aged and no-action management scenarios on C sequestration in a southern Appalachian red spruce-Fraser fir forest were modeled. We explicitly considered C ...
متن کاملChemical climatology of high elevation spruce-fir forests in the southern Appalachian mountains.
The physical and chemical climatology of high elevation (> 1500 m) spruce-fir forests in the southern Appalachian mountains was studied by establishing a weather and atmospheric chemical observatory at Mt Mitchell State Park in North Carolina (35 degrees 44' 05" N, 82 degrees 17' 15"W). Data collected during the summer and autumn (May-October) of 1986, 1987, and 1988 are reported. All measureme...
متن کاملVariation in overstory nitrogen uptake in a small, high-elevation southern Appalachian spruce–fir watershed1
High-elevation red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) – Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) forests of the southern Appalachians exhibit considerable spatial heterogeneity in structure, and possibly in N uptake, because of a combination of natural disturbances and heavy fir mortality caused by infestations of the exotic balsam woolly adelgid (Adelges piceae Ratz). The objectives of this study are...

from UCLA and was formerly a professor at the University of Wyoming. His research focuses on the adaptations of plants living in harsh and extreme environments, with a current focus on global change impacts. Current projects include studies of the global occurrence of the alpine treelines and the impacts of episodic, extreme events (e.g. hurricanes) on barrier island ecosystems. Based on the ad...
متن کاملGLOBAL POLICY COMMITMENTS Carbon Sequestration and Southern Pine Forests
Carbon Sequestration and Southern Pine Forests mary controls of the major carbon pools. We then suggest management options for increasing carbon sequestration and research needed so that southern pine forest carbon sequestration can be better quantified, predicted, and managed. Land Use: A Major Determinant Two primary forces determine land use in the South. One is economic development that gen...
