Insect herbivores of a bald-cypress/tupelo ecosystem
Forest Ecology and Management, 1990Abstract The forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hubner, and the fruit-tree leafroller, Archips argyprospila (Walker), are the two dominant insect herbivores affectinf Louisiana's forested wetlands. The lack of tree species diversity and the paucity of natural enemies has resulted in continuous epidemics of these two herbivores.

Salt resistance of bald cypress
1993Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) seedlings were grown at different levels of NaC1 (0, 17, 34, 68,102,136 and 170 mol m-3) in greenhouse during seven month growing season. Height, diameter growth and water consumption were measured during the experiment. Root, shoot and leaf weight were measured after harvesting in September. Na, P, Ca, K and Mg uptake

Selective Herbicides for Bald Cypress Restoration and Cultivation
Weed Technology, 2012Studies were conducted in 2007 and 2008 to evaluate herbicides having both PRE and POST activity for selective weed control in bald cypress plantings. Five herbicides were applied at two or three rates at two different timings. The first timing was to dormant seedlings without foliage and prior to weed emergence (i.e., PRE).

A volume and taper prediction system for bald cypress
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1987A volume and taper prediction system based on d10 and consisting of a total volume equation, two volume ratio equations (one for diameter limits, the other for height limits), and a taper equation was developed for bald cypress using sample tree data collected in Louisiana.

Some Observations on Bald Cypress in Indiana
Ecology, 1961The different lichens were damaged in different ways, but apparently most were manifestations of the death and decolorization of the algal layer. Parmelia caperata turned yellow and then white. Lecanora leptyrodes showed a decolorization of the grey thallus, and the normally lavender apothecia turned white and shriveled. The podetia and basal squamules

False Ring Formation in Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum)
Wetlands, 2017False rings are intra-annual bands of high density xylem cells that form in response to an environmental condition that a causes a tree to form two bands of latewood cells during a single growing season. We examined whether precipitation and/or stream flow measurements coincided with false ring formation in adult bald cypress trees (Taxodium distichum (

Phosphorus Dissolution in the Rhizosphere of Bald Cypress Trees in Restored Wetland Soils
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2014Phosphorus release to ground or surface waters has been observed in wetlands restored from farmland. This study examined whether rhizospheres of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum L.) are a source of increased P dissolution compared with the soil matrix. The study was conducted in root-box rhizotrons filled with mineral and organic soil materials (Aeric ...

Decomposition and litter production in a northern bald cypress swamp
Journal of Vegetation Science, 1994. Primary production as measured by annual mean litter fall in the Lower Cache near Perks, Illinois, was the lowest recorded for cypress swamps (2345.5 kg/ha/yr). This swamp is continuously flooded with a low input of phosphorus (< 0.24 mg 1). Rates of leaf litter decomposition were higher in the Lower Cache for Taxodium distichum than in swamps to the

Flora, 2021
Abstract Bald Cypress knees are polymorphous narrowly conical or multitipped vertical root outgrowths formed predominantly in swampy habitats by Taxodium distichum. Almost 180 years of sporadic botanical attention to the knees has failed to generate consensus on their adaptive significance, a situation exacerbated by inadequate data on their ...

The heartwood of bald cypress,Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich., resisted feeding attack by the Formosan subterranean termite,Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. Hexane-extracted heartwood, however, was consumed at > 12 times the amount of sound heartwood eaten. A bioassay usingT. distichum sapwood as a feeding substrate was employed to assess the antitermitic
