Distribution of Armillaria species in upland Ozark Mountain forests with respect to site, overstory species composition and oak decline

Forest Pathology, 2000
SummaryArmillaria root disease is a contributing factor to oak decline in the Ozark Mountains of central USA. We have identified Armillaria gallica, Armillaria mellea, and Armillaria tabescens in Quercus‐Carya‐Pinus forests of the region. Presence/absence patterns of each Armillaria species as well as all possible Armillaria species combinations were ...

Patterns of Overstory Composition in the Fir and Fir-Spruce Forests of the Great Smoky Mountains After Balsam Woolly Adelgid Infestation

The American Midland Naturalist, 1998
Abstract In 1957, the exotic balsam woolly adelgid (Adelges piceae Ratz.) was discovered in the southern Appalachians. It quickly spread throughout the spruce-fir forests, decimating adult Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) populations. In 1990 and 1991, a system of temporary and permanent plots was established on five mountains in the Great ...

Effects of overstory retention, herbicides, and fertilization on sub-canopy vegetation structure and functional group composition in loblolly pine forests restored to longleaf pine

Forest Ecology and Management, 2014
The desirable structure of longleaf pine forests, which generally includes a relatively open canopy of pines, very few woody stems in the mid-story, and a well-developed, herbaceous ground layer, provides critical habitat for flora and fauna and contributes to ecosystem function.

Forest composition following overstory mortality from southern pine beetle and associated treatmentsExperiment Station Project 06-08-109 of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, Lexington, Kentucky.

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2008
Bark beetle caused mortality continues to play a critical role in determining the composition and structure of forests in North America, and revegetation dynamics following these disturbances are poorly understood. We assessed forest composition following southern pine beetle, Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, mortality and associated cut and leave ...

Overstory Tree Composition of Eastern Hemlock Stands Threatened by the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

Castanea, 2004
Abstract We described overstory tree age and composition among hemlock stands that varied in physiographic structure at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area located in northeastern Pennsylvania and northwestern New Jersey. Hemlock stands were comprised primarily of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), chestnut oak (Quercus prinus), black birch ...

Overstory Species Composition, Structure, and Conservation Challenges of a Mature, Natural-Origin Pine Stand After Decades of Management

Southeastern Naturalist, 2016
Abstract This study provides a preliminary assessment of 4 compartments on the Crossett Experimental Forest (CEF) being restored to old-growth-like conditions. After being partially cleared for agriculture or lumbered in the late 1910s, Compartments 1, 2, 11, and 12 were included in a combination of pulpwood-thinning and uneven-aged cutting-cycle ...
