Environmental niche model for the baldcypress leafroller, a significant defoliator of coastal forests, under current and projected climate scenarios

Ecological Informatics
Forested coastal wetlands are economically important ecosystems that reduce damage from tropical cyclones by serving as wind buffers and regulating storm surge.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Occurrence of natural tree cavities suitable for nesting wood ducks across South Carolina forest types

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 7, September 2025.
Although evidence suggests >90% of the North American wood duck population nests in natural tree cavities, few studies have investigated the occurrence of these cavities across their southern breeding range. We aimed to determine forest and tree characteristics associated with the presence of cavities and cavities suitable for wood duck nesting and our

Seedling survival and growth of four forest tree species: the role of resource gradients in bottomland forests

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.
The survival and growth of bottomland tree species in floodplain ecosystems are largely driven by species‐specific resource conditions. To assess the performance of native tree species along resource gradients, we planted seedlings of four native species, including Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum), Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Water oak (Quercus nigra),

Site and management factors determining the fate of hardwood trees planted on reclaimed coal mines in the Illinois Basin, USA

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2025.
Despite decades of research and practice restoring forests on surface coal mines, success is still variable, and failures often occur. To better understand how variation in site factors and management affects the success of restoration of coal mines, we conducted a survey of tree performance for mine sites in the Illinois Basin across Indiana, USA ...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Soil Water δ18O and δ2H Reveals Hydrological Processes in Two Floodplain Soils

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2025.
Soil borings indicated that bound water isotopic variability was greater than any mobile source water sampled. The isotopic composition of bound water was less spatially variable within structured clay soil at the swale microsite than it was in coarser textured soil at the adjacent ridge microsite.

Standard metrics for characterizing episodic salinization in freshwater systems

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 647-659, September 2024.
Abstract Salinization threatens freshwater resources and freshwater‐dependent wetlands in coastal areas worldwide. Many research efforts focus on gradual or chronic salinization, but the phenomenon is also episodic in nature, particularly in small streams and artificial waterways.

Fertilization of Container-Grown Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 2001
Abstract Two fertilization experiments were conducted with first-year seedlings of baldcypress [Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.] in containers (substrate = composted pine bark). First, seedlings were subjected to factorial combinations of dolomitic lime, soluble fertilizer (SF), and incorporated controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) (19.0N–2.6P–8 ...

Screening Methodology for Flood-tolerant Plants for Low Impact Development Landscape Features Using Baldcypress as a Model System

HortTechnology
Low impact development (LID) design focused on minimizing runoff and improving effluent quality has led to an increase in LID features in built environments, such as rain gardens, bioswales, and constructed wetlands.

Prediction and Error of Baldcypress Stem Volume from Stump Diameter [PDF]

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1998
Abstract The need to estimate the volume of removals occurs for many reasons, such as in trespass cases, severance tax reports, and post-harvest assessments. A logarithmic model is presented for prediction of baldcypress total stem cubic foot volume using stump diameter as the independent variable.
