Stand structure, composition, and regeneration dynamics following removal of encroaching woody vegetation from Midwestern oak savannas
Woody encroachment has altered oak savannas throughout much of the Midwestern United States. To help understand restoration options, we assessed the impacts of mechanically removing encroaching mesophytic trees and shrubs on structure, composition, and regeneration dynamics in Quercus alba dominated oak savannas in Iowa (n = 4), relative to control sites (n = 4). We monitored stand structure an...
متن کاملAustralia savannas: seasonal Carbon sinks and sources
Through estimations of above-and below-ground standing biomass, annual biomass increment, fine root production and turnover, litterfall, canopy respiration and total soil CO 2 efflux, a carbon balance on seasonal and yearly timescales is developed for a Eucalypt open-forest savanna in northern Australia. This carbon balance is compared to estimates of carbon fluxes derived from eddy covariance ...

متن کاملA comparison of large-scale spatial vegetation patterns following clearcuts and fires in Ontario’s boreal forests
The role of wildfires as the most significant source of disturbance in boreal forests has been equaled by clearcuts during the past five decades. Post-disturbance revegetation patterns are important because they have a direct influence on many ecological processes. However, the knowledge of post-disturbance changes in spatial patterns of forest cover is scarce, especially at large scales. We ex...
متن کاملSPOT VEGETATION for characterizing boreal forest fires
The potential of the recent SPOT VEGETATION (VGT) sensor for characterizing boreal forest res was investigated. Its capability for hotspot detection and burned area mapping was assessed by analysing a series of VGT, NOAA/AVHRR, and Landsat TM images over a 1541 km2 re that occurred in May 1998, in Alberta, Canada. VGT’s 1.65mm, short-wave infrared (SWIR) channel was capable of detecting the...
