Intermediate disturbance in a late-successional hemlock-northern hardwood forest
1 An old-growth mesic forest in northern Michigan, USA, experienced an unusually intense storm in July 2002. Permanent inventory plots and a 2.9-ha mapped stand allow comparison of effects of this rare disturbance with patterns of ‘baseline’ mortality. 2 Tree mortality attributable to immediate effects of the storm was of similar magnitude to mortality over the previous decade, amounting to abo...
متن کاملEffect of a major ice storm on understory light conditions in an old-growth Acer–Fagus forest: Pattern of recovery over seven years
We evaluated the effects of a major ice storm on understory light conditions (%PPFD, photosynthetic photon flux density) in an old-growth Acer–Fagus forest in Quebec, based on preand post-disturbance light measurements taken until the seventh growing season after the event (which occurred in January 1998). Before the ice storm, most microsites received between 2 and 4%PPFD. Following the ice st...
متن کاملDust Storm Frequency in Connection with Climatic Change in the Arid Region of Iran
Dust storms in arid and semi-arid regions have harmful impacts on the environment, the economy, and the health of local and global communities. In this study, the frequency of annual dust events in twenty-five stations and five climatic variables including rainfall, maximum annual wind speed, average annual wind speed, maximum annual temperature, and average annual temperature in arid regions o...
متن کاملLimited salvage logging effects on forest regeneration after moderate-severity windthrow.
Recent conceptual advances address forest response to multiple disturbances within a brief time period, providing an ideal framework for examining the consequences of natural disturbances followed by anthropogenic management activities. The combination of two or more disturbances in a short period may produce "ecological surprises," and models predict a threshold of cumulative disturbance sever...
متن کاملA Study on Dust Storms Using Wind Rose, Storm Rose and Sand Rose (Case Study: Tehran Province)
Sand and dust storms are natural events that occur widely around the world, mostly in dry and bare lands. Over thepast decade a large part of Iran has been affected by this phenomenon, and Tehran has not been excluded from thisevent. Therefore, having knowledge of spatiotemporal frequency variations can aid us in future management andstorm trajectory assessment. In this study the synoptic anemo...
