Understory Species Response to Utah Juniper Litter [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2003
A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the effects of litter leachate and litter depth of Utah juniper [Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little] on seedling emergence and emergence rate of 8 common herbaceous understory species. Species tested were: ‘Secar’ bluebunch wheatgrass [Pseudoroegnaria spicata (Pursh) A.

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Changes in deer hunter satisfaction under special antlerless harvest regulations in Pennsylvania, USA

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Deer Management Assistance Program hunter satisfaction in Pennsylvania increased over time and was associated with antlerless deer harvest success, repeated permit purchases, and seeing an antlerless deer. Understanding these relationships can help wildlife agencies support both deer management objectives and long‐term hunter engagement.

Simulated Root Exudation Gradient Reveals Dosage‐Dependent Carbon Sequestration in Desertification Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root exudates serve as a key driver for the restoration of soil organic carbon (SOC), particularly in aeolian desertification ecosystems where aboveground litter retention is limited. While Salix cupularis is widely planted as an effective pioneer shrub for ecological rehabilitation on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau, how the quantity of its root ...

Biological Salt‐Pump Effect: Long‐Term Stand Development of Haloxylon ammodendron and Its Role in Reshaping Soil Hydrothermal and Salinity Regimes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...

Seasonal dynamics of lingonberry and blueberry spectra

Silva Fennica, 2019
Accurate mapping of the spatial distribution of understory species from spectral images requires ground reference data which represent the prevailing phenological stage at the time of image acquisition.

Stand Age, Standard Retention Density and Site Conditions as Drivers of Shoot Biomass Accumulation in Mediterranean Oak Coppices

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driving shoot biomass accumulation.

Regeneração de Psychotria suterella Müll. Arg. (Rubiaceae) em uma paisagem fragmentada de Floresta Atlântica no Sudeste do Brasil. Regeneration of Psychotria suterella Müll. Arg. (Rubiaceae) in a fragmented landscape of the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. [PDF]

Revista do Instituto Florestal, 2013
A fragmentação de florestas pode afetar processos demográficos relacionados à regeneração de populações de plantas. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar se a regeneração de populações de Psychotria suterella, espécie arbustiva comum de sub-bosque na ...

Monitoring the understory in eucalyptus plantations using airborne laser scanning

Scientia Agricola, 2020
In eucalyptus plantations, the presence of understory increases the risk of fires, acts as an obstacle to forest operations, and leads to yield losses due to competition. The objective of this study was to develop an approach to discriminate the presence

Plant Trait‐ and Soil‐Mediated Responses of Herbaceous Aboveground Biomass Across Community Types Along a Degradation Gradient in the Desert Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grassland degradation profoundly alters the structure and function of desert steppe ecosystems. However, the responses of herbaceous aboveground biomass (Herb‐AGB) to degradation across different plant community types and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
