Abstract:

Since the time of European settlement, land-use history, management practices, the introduction of non-native invasive species (NNIS), and climate change have dramatically changed the successional pathways of Southern Illinois forests. Biodiversity is considered essential for ecosystem health and resiliency, so understanding the impact theses forest changes have on biodiversity is necessary to guide future management decisions. This study was conducted at Touch of Nature Environmental Center (TONEC) in Southern Illinois using the Shannon diversity index (H') to compare the levels of biodiver

Abstract:

Linking environmental variation to population dynamics is necessary to understand and predict how the environment influences species abundances and distributions. I used demographic, environmental and trait data of forest herbs to study effects of spatial variation in environmental factors on populations as well as environmental change in terms of effects of forest succession on field layer plants. The results show that abundances of field layer species during forest succession are correlated with their functional traits; species with high specific leaf area increased more in abundance. I also

Abstract:

The water physico-chemistry, hydrology and plant communities in the Montgomeryshire Canal were examined for evidence of successional phenomena over a five year period and comparisons were made with previous studies. Plant communities changed in a manner which suggested that classical successional ideas were applicable to canals. The changes were readily distinguishable when a period of twenty years had passed but as the examined period was decreased the complexity of the sequence became more apparent. In a single year there were changes in the plant communities. A later stage of succession was

Abstract:

Acacia karoo arises following disturbance in the Dune Forests of Northern KwaZulu-Natal. Patches of A. karoo which had arisen as a result of the abandonment of fields by subsistence farmers in a dune forest matrix were studied. Previous authors have considered A. karoo to be part of a successional mechanism which leads towards a climax forest canopy (Mentis and Ellery, 1994; von Maltitz et al, 1996). This succession is questioned as a number of the conclusions of these authors were not verified by my own work. The present paradigm holds that the A. karoo is even aged and will senesce after 25

Abstract:

Revegetation is employed to mitigate the spread of mine tailings in the environment by ameliorating tailings with organics to promote plant cover. Revegetation has proven to be successful in establishing plant cover, but the long-term effects are largely unknown. A field study was conducted to evaluate the success of four artificially revegetated tailings from Manitoba by comparing plant cover and diversity. Central Manitoba, Flin Flon, and Thompson had moderate cover while cover was low in Lynn Lake. All four sites had low diversity and were composed of early-successional species. The results

Abstract:

Abstract Plants have evolved various adaptive strategies for balancing the benefits and costs of having a high affinity for resources, plasticity of growth allocation and mycorrhizal symbiosis. The relative growth rates of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants were modelled for stable and variable nutrient availability. Mycorrhizal plants had higher growth rates at low and non-mycorrhizal plants at high nutrient availability. Variation in nutrient availability reduced the growth rate of mycorrhizal plants due to a high affinity for nutrients. However, mycorrhizal plants may be able to buffer

Abstract:

In this study four different aspects of primary successions on glacier forelands in South-Central Norway are investigated. First, general vegetation and environment trends, which have been observed by other scientists, were studied on two forelands. It is shown that the two selected forelands (one low- and one high-altitude foreland, Nigardsbreen and Storbreen, respectively) differ in the speed of vegetation cover change and in the overall species richness developed over the last 250 years since deglaciation. This is attributed to differences in the severity of the environment between the two

One of the human activities impacting biodiversity is the cutting of old-growth forests. In response to the controversy surrounding the cutting of old-growth in the coastal rainforest of BC, the Ministries of the Environment and Forests have produced biodiversity guidelines that are to be applied when manipulating stands in the provincial forest. This study augments these guidelines by investigating the diversity differences between second-growth and old-growth forests in relation to site quality. We demonstrate how standlevel plant diversity differs between 40-year-old and old-growth stand

This thesis aims to improve our understanding of how riverine ecosystems respond to dam removal. Riverine and particularly riparian ecosystems are among the most variable and important features of all landscapes. They connect landscape elements both longitudinally and laterally, and are governed by processes such as flooding, erosion and deposition that create dynamic, diverse and heterogeneous habitats. In fact, riparian zones are among the world’s most species-rich habitats. Worldwide there are millions of dams that fragment stream and river systems, regulate flows and degrade ecosystems. Da

More specifically, how do clearcutting and wildfires compare in their effect
