Forage Yields in Turkey Hill Wilderness in East Texas for White-tailed Deer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Wilderness areas are often considered quality areas where natural processes occur without human activity. It is often assumed that these unmanaged areas will provide and support quality wildlife habitat. The objective of this study was to evaluate the

Riparian vegetation classification from airborne laser scanning data with an emphasis on cottonwood trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The high point density of airborne laser mapping systems enables achieving a detailed description of geographic objects and the terrain. Growing experience indicates, however, that extracting useful information directly from the data can be difficult. In

Effects of Ponderosa Pine Ecological Restoration on Forest Soils and Understory Vegetation in Northern Arizona [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The human exclusion of wildfire and overgrazing by livestock since settlement have caused dramatic changes in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl ex Laws) forest ecosystems.

Species-specific associations between overstory and understory tree species in a semideciduous tropical forest

open access: yes, 2015
We investigated the occurrence of associations between overstory and understory tree species in a semideciduous tropical forest. We identified and measured all trees of nine canopy species with diameter at breast height ≥4.8 cm in a 10.24 ha plot and ...

Contributions of Understory and/or Overstory Vegetations to Soil Microbial PLFA and Nematode Diversities in Eucalyptus Monocultures

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Ecological interactions between aboveground and belowground biodiversity have received many attentions in the recent decades. Although soil biodiversity declined with the decrease of plant diversity, many previous studies found plant species identities ...

Effects of residual overstory on aspen development in Minnesota

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Forest Research, 1999
The effects of different amounts of residual canopy on stand development of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) were examined in a chronosequence of 32 stands spanning 6-10 years since harvest. Residual canopy covers ranged from 0 to 65%, and residual basal areas ranged from 0 to 14.4 m2/ha.

Discrimination of unique biological communities in the Mississippi lignite belt [PDF]

open access: yes
Small scale hardcopy LANDSAT prints were manually interpreted and color infrared aerial photography was obtained in an effort to identify and map large contiguous areas of old growth hardwood stands within Mississippi's lignite belt which do not exhibit ...

A spatially distributed model for the dynamic prediction of sediment erosion and transport in mountainous forested watersheds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Erosion and sediment transport in a temperate forested watershed are predicted with a new sediment model that represents the main sources of sediment generation in forested environments (mass wasting, hillslope erosion, and road surface erosion) within ...

The understory fern Dicranopteris dichotoma facilitates the overstory Eucalyptus trees in subtropical plantations

open access: yes, 2014
Plant–plant interactions are important not only for understanding biodiversity maintenance and plant community assembly but also for forest conservation and management.
