Linking Plant Ecology and Long‐term Hydrology to Improve Wetland Restoration Success
Although millions of dollars are spent restoring wetlands, failures are common, in part because the planted vegetation cannot survive in the restored hydrology. Wetland restoration would be more successful if the hydrologic requirements of wetland plant communities were known so that the most appropriate plants could be selected for the range of projected hydrology at the site. Here we describe...
متن کاملAbsorptivity of brown carbon in fresh and photo-chemically aged biomass-burning emissions
Experiments were conducted to investigate light absorption of organic aerosol (OA) in fresh and photochemically aged biomass-burning emissions. The experiments considered residential hardwood fuel (oak) and fuels commonly consumed in wild-land and prescribed fires in the United States (pocosin pine and gallberry). Photochemical aging was performed in an environmental chamber. We constrained the...
متن کاملWater Relations of Pocosin or Bog Shrubs.
The pocosins, or broad-leaved evergreen shrub bogs, constitute one of the most distinctive plant communities of the southeastern coastal plain. They occupy flat, poorly-drained areas where the soil is frequently water-logged for long periods of time, but where surface water seldom stands to a depth of more than a few inches, and then only for comparatively short periods. The water relations of ...
متن کاملBayesian networks as a framework to step-down and support Strategic Habitat Conservation of data-poor species: A case study with King Rail (Rallus elegans) in Eastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia
Although Bayesian network (BN) models have been promoted to the conservation community as models well-suited to support adaptive management strategies, there have been few tests of these claims. To test the value of BNs to support U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Geological Service's Strategic Habitat Conservation approach to adaptive management, we modeled habitat occupancy of breeding ...
متن کاملRestoring the Longleaf Pine Ecosystem: The Role of Fire
Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystems once occupied 90 million acres in the southern United States coastal plain. These firedependent ecosystems dominated a wide range of coastal plain sites, including dry uplands and low, wet flatlands. Today, less than 4 million acres remain, but these ecosystems represent significant components of the region's cultural heritage, ecological diversi...
