DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.08.016
Abstract: Abstract Forest ecosystems dominated by Tsuga canadensis are undergoing fundamental changes in function and composition from infestations by hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae). We proposed that the first step to restoring southern Appalachian riparian forests… read more here.
