Effects of a Prescribed Fire on Oak Woodland Stand Structure
Fire damage and tree characteristics of mixed deciduous oak woodlands were recorded after a prescription burn in the summer of 1999 on Mt. Hamilton Range, Santa Clara County, California. Trees were tagged and monitored to determine the effects of fire intensity on damage, recovery and survivorship. Fire-caused mortality was low; 2-year post-burn survey indicates that only three oaks have died f...
متن کاملOak Shelterwood: A Technique to Improve Oak Regeneration
Oak Regeneration Dynamics Successful regeneration of oak on intermediate and high-quality sites (upland oak site index > 65 to 70 feet) is limited due to the lack of the vigorous advance regeneration and/or saplings/pole-sized trees that are capable of sprouting. Vigorous advance regeneration and/or stump sprouters are required at the time of regeneration on intermediate and highquality sites, ...
متن کاملSalamander abundance along road edges and within abandoned logging roads in Appalachian forests.
Roads may be one of the most common disturbances in otherwise continuous forested habitat in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Despite their obvious presence on the landscape, there is limited data on the ecological effects along a road edge or the size of the "road-effect zone." We sampled salamanders at current and abandoned road sites within the Nantahala National Forest, North Carolina (U...
متن کاملHyperdiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungus assemblages on oak seedlings in mixed forests in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
Diversity of ectotrophic mycobionts on outplanted seedlings of two oak species (Quercus rubra and Quercus prinus) was estimated at two sites in mature mixed forests in the southern Appalachian Mountains by sequencing nuclear 5.8S rRNA genes and the flanking internal transcribed spacer regions I and II (ITS). The seedlings captured a high diversity of mycorrhizal ITS-types and late-stage fungi w...
متن کامل“Community Assembly Rules in Southern Appalachian Oak Forests”
Conservation efforts depend in part on adequate understanding of how ecological communities are assembled, and yet there is much about community assembly that is unknown. This study is an attempt to test whether oak subgenera follow a type of assembly rule known as niche partitioning. Niche partitioning is a process by which competition between more ecologically similar species selectively favo...
