Forest Management and the Dead Wood Resource in Ponderosa Pine Forests: Effects on Small Mammals
Changes in vegetation structure and composition affect habitat for wildlife. Species such as small mammals that are restricted to small home ranges and are relatively immobile may be most affected since it is more difficult to find and move to new habitat. In the southwestern United States, forest management treatments (thinning and prescribed burning) are being implemented to alter structure a...
متن کاملResponses of arthropods to large-scale manipulations of dead wood in loblolly pine stands of the southeastern United States.
Large-scale experimental manipulations of dead wood are needed to better understand its importance to animal communities in managed forests. In this experiment, we compared the abundance, species richness, diversity, and composition of arthropods in 9.3-ha plots in which either (1) all coarse woody debris was removed, (2) a large number of logs were added, (3) a large number of snags were added...
متن کاملEffects of Climate Change on Southeastern Forests
Scientists from Rice University sponsored by the National Wetlands Research Center are using a long-term study of forest structure and change in east Texas to investigate potential effects of climate change on forests of the coastal plain (Fig. 1). Study areas include sites in the Big Thicket of east Texas, which are representative of important vegetation types on the coastal plain, including b...

متن کاملBird and Mammal Problems in Southeastern Pine Forests
Birds and rodents eat pine seeds needed for regeneration, and the larger mammals destroy established seedlings by browsing or trampling. Some of the problems they cause have been solved or solutions are near; some still defy solution.
