The role of understory phenology and productivity in the carbon dynamics of longleaf pine savannas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2675
Abstract: Savanna ecosystems contribute ~30% of global net primary production (NPP), but they vary substantially in composition and function, specifically in the understory, which can result in complex responses to environmental fluctuations. We tested how understory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2735
Abstract: Fire is a critical force in structuring ecosystems, but it also removes substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), which can limit plant growth. Biological N fixation (BNF) may alleviate fire-induced N deficiencies that inhibit ecosystem recovery,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.117928
Abstract: Abstract Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) restoration is an important land management goal throughout the southeastern U.S. On hydric sites within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, restoration may involve site preparation prior to planting to overcome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118724
Abstract: Abstract Hurricanes occur regularly along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the southern United States and can have intense ecological and economic impacts on forests. Frequent low-intensity fire plays a well-known role in many coastal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118809
Abstract: Abstract In the fire maintained longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem, underground refugia such as gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) burrows and stump holes may be important for animals to escape fire and extreme temperatures. Despite being… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119635
Abstract: Abstract Prior to European settlement the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystem covered over 92 million hectares in the southeastern United States. Historically, fire was an important driver of species composition in the longleaf pine ecosystem,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-59878-4
Abstract: Much of the once-dominant longleaf pine ( Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystem has been lost from the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States and only a few scattered remnants of primary forest remain. Despite much… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/rec.13108
Abstract: The primary objective of many longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) restoration programs is to enhance or restore habitat for wildlife dependent on herbaceous plant communities. Because herbaceous cover is inversely related to canopy cover, restoration programs… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f10050367
Abstract: Research Highlights: Spatial patterns of fire spread and severity influence survival of juvenile pines in longleaf pine savannas. Small areas that do not burn during frequent fires facilitate formation of patches of even-aged longleaf pine… read more here.
