Viability of Litter-Stored Quercus falcata Michx. Acorns after Simulated Prescribed Winter Burns
Partially stratified (11 days) southern red oak (Quercus @cam Michx.) acorns were placed at three depths in a reconstructed forest floor and subjected to simulated prescribed winter bums. Within the forest floor, acorns were placed within the L layer, at the upper-F/ lower-F interface, and at the lower-F/mineral-soil interface. Winds for a backfire and headfire were generated by electric box-fa...
متن کاملSurvival and growth of Pinus echinata and Quercus seedlings in response to simulated summer and winter prescribed burns
First-year seedlings of shortleaf pine (Pinus echinatu Mill.), southern red oak (Quercus falcatu Michx.), and white oak (Quercus alha L.) were subjected to simulated prescribed burns during August (growing season) or January (dormant season) on an IJpper Coastal Plain site in southeastern Arkansas, U.S.A. Survival and growth of resprouting rootstocks were compared with control seedlings through...
متن کاملOccupational PAH exposures during prescribed pile burns.
Wildland firefighters are exposed to particulate matter and gases containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), many of which are known carcinogens. Our objective was to evaluate the extent of firefighter exposure to particulate and PAHs during prescribed pile burns of mainly ponderosa pine slash and determine whether these exposures were correlated with changes in urinary 1-hydroxypyrene...
متن کاملImpact of litter quantity on the soil bacteria community during the decomposition of Quercus wutaishanica litter
The forest ecosystem is the main component of terrestrial ecosystems. The global climate and the functions and processes of soil microbes in the ecosystem are all influenced by litter decomposition. The effects of litter decomposition on the abundance of soil microorganisms remain unknown. Here, we analyzed soil bacterial communities during the litter decomposition process in an incubation expe...
متن کاملPre-dispersal strategies by Quercus schottkyana to mitigate the effects of weevil infestation of acorns
We investigated how pre-dispersal strategies may mitigate the effects of weevil infestation of acorns in a population of Quercus schottkyana, a dominant oak in Asian evergreen broad-leaved forests, and assess if weevil infestation contributes to low seedling recruitment. We counted the number of acorns produced, daily from the end of August to mid-late November for 9 years from 2006-2014. We al...
