Ecology and management of oak regeneration in bottomland hardwood forests in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Managing oak regeneration is a challenge in bottomland hardwood forests due to variations in acorn production, acorn predation, competition with other species, and flooding. This study was designed to investigate bottomland ...
Evaluation and development of first order fire effects mortality model predictions for eastern hardwood forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The First Order Fire Effects Model (FOFEM) is a useful tool for predicting fire-induced mortality in western coniferous forests. However, it lacks robust models for eastern hardwood species. Managers in the eastern United ...
Canopy recruitment dynamics in naturally regenerated longleaf pine (pinus palustris) woodlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
The ecological and cultural values of the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem, in combination with an approximately 97 percent loss in historic range, has led to increasing interest in ecosystem restoration and ...
Site preparation for longleaf pine restoration on hydric sites : stand development and ground flora responses 15 years after planting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
control treatments (chopping or herbicide) with three soil manipulation treatments (flat [no treatment], mounding, or bedding), and an herbicide-chopping-bedding treatment. Our objectives were to determine the long-term impacts of site preparation...
