Survival of Deep Trunk Burial in Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum)

Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 2000
The formation of adventitious roots near the soil surface was investigated in a baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) tree nearly a century after the lower trunk was buried in soil 10 m deep as a result of nearby construction. Numerous large and small roots proliferated from the underground trunk near the soil surface to a depth of at least 2 meters (the ...

Tectonic Signal in Baldcypress Trees at Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee

Seismological Research Letters, 1992
Abstract Tree-ring analyses of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) from Reelfoot Lake, Tennessee, support historical accounts that the lake formed during the great New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–1812. Due to ground subsidence and permanent flooding all of the bottomland hardwood trees within the impounded area were killed.

Dendrochronology and Heavy Metal Deposition in Tree Rings of Baldcypress

Journal of Environmental Quality, 1996
AbstractA chronology (1895–present) based on tree‐ring increments was constructed for baldcypress (Taxodium distichum L.) trees in Bayou Trepagnier, in southern Louisiana. The best indicator of growth was precipitation in February of the preceding year and October of the 2 previous years.

Baldcypress allelochemics and the inhibition of silkworm enteric microorganisms Some Ecological Considerations

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1981
Exposure ofBombyx mori larvae to 2-furaldehyde, a major volatile component of baldcypress heartwood,Taxodium distichum, resulted in in vivo inhibition of enteric microorganisms at concentrations (1-47 ppm) that were released naturally from heartwood. The 7 bacterial and 2 fungal enteric isolates were also inhibited in vitro at the same concentrations ...

Detecting and Predicting Climatic Variation from Old-Growth Baldcypress

1998
Tree-ring data can extend back in time for thousands of years allowing researchers to reconstruct certain environmental factors that have left an imprint or signal in the tree-ring record. Typically, these factors include reconstructions of annual precipitation or temperature for months or seasons to which a particular tree species is sensitive.

Control of Gelechiid Larvae Attacking Baldcypress in Pennsylvania, 1991

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1992
Abstract An infestation of medium to large gelechiid larvae (5-7 mm) were observed feeding on the new expanding growth of 25-30 ft baldcypress trees located on the property of Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA. Lower branches were sprayed until runoff using a 3-gal hand pressurized portable sprayer. Treatment was performed 10 May from

Hydroclimatic relationships and stable isotopic analysis in baldcypress tree rings

Science of The Total Environment
Instrumental records of hydroclimatic extremes (e.g., drought, pluvial flooding, tropical cyclones) are temporally and spatially limited, making long-term assessments of the drivers of these events difficult. Paleo-reconstructions of these extreme events are therefore essential in understanding and evaluating future risk, especially within vulnerable ...

Natural regeneration of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) in a Louisiana swamp

Forest Ecology and Management, 1986
Abstract Due to large reserves of second-growth cypress ( Taxodium distichum and T. distichum var. nutans ) in the southeastern United States, logging of cypress is once again becoming attractive. This increased activity has led to the question of whether adequate natural regeneration will be established after logging.

Baldcypress height–diameter equations and their prediction confidence intervals

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1992
Height–diameter relationships are an important component in yield estimation, stand description, and damage appraisals. A nonlinear exponential function used extensively in the northwest United States was chosen for bald cypress (Taxodiumdistichum (L.) Rich.).

HYDROPERIOD AND SOIL WATER SALINITY IN THE BALDCYPRESS FLOODPLAINS OF THE LOXAHATCHEE RIVER

Hydrology and Management of Forested Wetlands, Proceedings of the International Conference, April 8-12, 2006, New Bern, North Carolina, 2013
The Northwest Fork of the Loxahatchee River is home to one of the last remnants of native cypress river-swamp within the southern-most continental United States. Vegetation studies conducted along the Loxahatchee River show that the highly valued baldcypress have been retreating upstream since the turn of the century. It is believed that the increasing
