Abstract:

The vegetation of the Sydney Basin, Australia, is highly flammable and subject to a wide range of fire regimes. Sclerophyllous shrubs and sedges are common and in some vegetation types up to 70 % of fuel consumed during a fire can be live. Research into fire behaviour and fuel dynamics has been minimal. To address this issue this thesis investigated the principal factor affecting the ease of ignition and rate of combustion of individual fuel particles and fuel beds in bushfires: dead fine fuel moisture (FFM). Two common Sydney Basin vegetation types, eucalypt woodland and heathland, each with

Abstract:

Piratebush (Buckleya distichophylla (Nutt.) Torr.) is a rare, hemiparasitic shrub with the only extant populations in western North Carolina, northeastern Tennessee, and southwestern Virginia. The preferred natural hosts of piratebush, Carolina and eastern hemlocks, have seen sharp declines over the last decade due to the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid. Virginia pine, another important host of piratebush, is also susceptible to disease, specifically Cronartium appalachianum, a rust fungus for which piratebush is the secondary host.

Abstract:

Suppression of canopy tree recruitment beneath rapidly spreading thickets of Rhododendron maximum L. (Ericaceae) in southern Appalachian forests is an issue of major concern because of the potential impacts on forest productivity, hydrology and wildlife habitat. Many studies have investigated the causes of seedling inhibition beneath dense shrub understories, but few have uncovered specific mechanisms leading to seedling decline. In this study, I have examined the influence of the evergreen understory (R. maximum and Kalmia latifolia L.) on tree recruitment processes at multiple stages - s

Abstract:

The ongoing drought in the US Southwest (SW) has led to particularly large and severe wildfires, tree die-off events, insect outbreaks, and increased forest stress levels. These disturbances underscore the vulnerabilities of SW dry conifer forests to climate change and past land-uses. Climate projections show a clear upward trend in regional temperatures, which will lead to accelerated heat-related stressors and disturbances in the coming decades. Already, more than 20% of the dry conifer forests of the SW have been severely impacted. This number is likely to grow, but we lack a clear picture

Abstract:

In the past 15 years, a large amount of public-domain lidar data has been collected over the Southeastern United States. Most of these acquisitions were undertaken by government agencies, primarily for non-forestry purposes. That is, they were collected mostly to aid in the creation of digital terrain models and to support hydrological and engineering assessments. Such data is not ideal for forestry purposes mainly due to the low pulse density per square meter, the high scan angles and low swath overlaps associated with these acquisitions. Nevertheless, the large area of coverage involved moti

Abstract:

Woody plant expansion has been documented for decades in many different ecosystems, often due to anthropogenic disturbances to the environment and yielding vast changes in ecosystem functioning. While causes and consequences of woody expansion have been well documented, few studies have investigated functional traits of woody species that promote rapid expansion in range. My objective was to determine if hydraulic efficiency confers enhanced photosynthetic efficiency so that functional traits representing light and water use may be possible mechanisms facilitating woody encroachment into gra

Abstract:

During autumn 1993, the U. S. Forest Service began implementing a program of prescribed surface fire in the Fork Ridge region of Hoosier National Forest. To determine the effects of the prescribed surface fire on ground- and shrub-nesting nearctic migrants, I conducted vegetation structure sampling, bird abundance surveys, and nest searches during the 1996 and 1997 breeding seasons. The prescribed surface fire drastically reduced understory vegetative cover from 0.0 to 2.5 m above ground and the density of live stems < 5.0 cm dbh.

This thesis examines factors limiting understory herb presence and flowering in young second-growth Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, Oregon, USA. I studied the belowground effects of canopy trees on understory herbs and shrubs in old-growth forests using trenched plots from which tree roots were excluded. Effects of tree density and stand age were tested by comparing the understory community composition of old-growth stands and pre-commercially thinned and unthinned young second-growth stands.

Abstract:

<p>Amur honeysuckle (<i>Lonicera maackii</i>) is a shrub endemic to East Asia which has become invasive and nearly ubiquitous to the forest ecosystems of eastern North America. Through its extended growing season, competitive ability, and potential allelopathy, Amur honeysuckle alters native herbaceous-layer plant communities and inhibits the regeneration of native tree species. As such, it is representative of a range of invasive shrub species imported from East Asia. My thesis contributes to questions fundamental to the understanding this and other invasive shrubs: 1) How do species become i
