Leaf area allometrics and morphometrics in baldcypress

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2015
Leaf area relationships are important physiologically and ecologically but are not well studied in baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich. var. distichum). Tree leaf area (LA) and leaf area index (LAI) were measured in a wetland in southern Louisiana by dissecting crowns of felled trees and by scaling stand-level measurements with allometry ...

Tree-Volume and Stem-Profile Functions for Baldcypress

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1985
Abstract No volume tables are available for cypress in the South. A volume and stem-profile prediction system for baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) is presented in this paper. Equations for estimating total and merchantable inside- and outside-bark cubic foot volumes are discussed, as well as a stem-profile equation for estimating ...

Interaction of flooding and salinity stress on baldcypress (Taxodium distichum)

Tree Physiology, 1996
Coastal wetlands of the southeastern United States are threatened by increases in flooding and salinity as a result of both natural processes and man-induced hydrologic alterations. Furthermore, global climate change scenarios suggest that, as a consequence of rising sea levels, much larger areas of coastal wetlands may be affected by flooding and ...

Asynchronous Budbreak in Taxodium distichum L. Richard (Baldcypress) as a Mode of Resistance against Archips goyerana Kruse (Baldcypress Leafroller)

Journal of Coastal Research, 2007
Abstract Coastal stands of Taxodium distichum L. Richard (baldcypress) in Louisiana, USA, are in decline because of saltwater intrusion, prolonged flooding, and periodic defoliation by an insect herbivore, Archips goyerana Kruse (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae; the baldcypress leafroller).

THE NOMENCLATURE OF PONDCYPRESS AND BALDCYPRESS (TAXODIACEAE)

TAXON, 1985
Summary A taxonomic and nomenclatural study of pondcypress and baldcypress in the southeastern United States revealed the misapplication of a name. When pondcypress is treated as a variety rather than as a separate species, it should be referred to Taxodium distichum var.

Artificial Regeneration of Baldcypress in a Louisiana Crayfish Pond

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1993
Abstract Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum [L.] Rich.) seedlings were planted in a Louisiana crayfish pond to evaluate the effect of planting date on growth and survival. Storage techniques also were evaluated against containerized seedlings to determine the best method of holding seedlings fordelayed plantings.

American Beavers (Castor canadensis) Use a Hollow Baldcypress Snag as a Lodge

Southeastern Naturalist, 2021
Castor canadensis (American Beaver) typically construct lodges out of tree trunks, branches, and mud, or dig dens into banks at the edges of water bodies. We observed Beavers in a Mississippi swamp using a hollow Taxodium distichum (Baldcypress) snag as a lodge.

BALDCYPRESS SEEDLING GROWTH IN THERMALLY ALTERED HABITATS

American Journal of Botany, 1981
Thermal discharges from nuclear production reactors killed large areas of baldcypress‐water tupelo ( Taxodium distichum‐Nyssa aquatica ) forests along streams on the Savannah River Plant in South Carolina.

Stocking Guides for Water Tupelo and Baldcypress

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1995
Abstract Stocking guides for water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica L.) and baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) were developed from published tables of hypothetical stocking and stand development. The form of the stocking guide follows the established paradigm, although the “B”-line is based on the suggested residual stocking in the ...

Effects of Crown Thinning on Baldcypress Height, Diameter, and Volume Growth

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1988
Abstract Crown thinning a 63-year-old stand of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum [L.] Rich.) averaging 220 ft²/ac of basal area to 180, 140, and 100 ft²/ac resulted in 5-year diameter growths of 0.44, 0.51, and 0.77 in., respectively. The unthinned control was significantly less at 0.31 in.
