Forest science in the South: Summary of accomplishments for fiscal year 2008

 


Forest watershed science

Management or demise of forests can affect water quality and quantity. Restoration of bottomland hardwoods, riparian forests on agricultural lands, and wetlands can help re-establish ecological functions and connections. Forest Watershed Science is working to provide knowledge and technology to generate social, economic, and environmental benefits.

A Southern Research Station author wrote a conservation buffers field guidebook that promotes multifunctional landscape management. The book offers a concise yet comprehensive synthesis of science-based guidelines for planning and designing conservation buffers, corridors, and greenways in rural and urban settings. More than 80 illustrated designs show how to protect soil, improve air and water quality, enhance fish and wildlife habitat, provide recreation opportunities, and improve economic returns. The guidebook has been translated into Chinese, Spanish, and French, and is available in print and online at www.unl.edu/nac/bufferguidelines.

Mississippi is home to about 63 described crayfish species and at least 10 more that require classification. Station scientists led an effort to increase awareness about crayfish diversity in the State, to assist students and scientists in identifying crayfishes, and to educate people about crayfishes, including the diverse habitats they occupy and their many roles in ecosystems. The Crayfishes of Mississippi poster features stunning photos of about half of the State’s species. A Web site provides interactive maps of species distribution, photos to aid in identification, and fact sheets. Searches on the Crayfishes of Mississippi Web site (maps.fs.fed.us/crayfish) can be conducted by species or geographic area.

Infestation of Southern Appalachian eastern hemlock stands by the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) is expected to have dramatic and lasting effects on forest structure and function. Station scientists found that HWA infestation significantly reduced diameter growth of hemlock stems. This decline was offset to some extent by a concurrent but moderate increase in stem growth of hardwood trees in the stand. Production of hemlock fine roots and outward flow of soil carbon dioxide were reduced by HWA infestation, suggesting rapid declines in hemlock productivity. The accelerated debris resulting from eventual hemlock mortality are likely to influence carbon and nutrient flow, and to dictate future patterns of species regeneration in these ecosystems.

Eastern hemlock decline and replacement from Maine to Alabama

Potential impacts to forested systems threatened by the introduced hemlock wooly adelgid are great because of hemlock's role as a foundation species that influences soil, vegetation, and stream characteristics. Station scientists installed a long-term study at 49 sites, from Maine to Alabama, designed to survey eastern hemlock health, measure stand dynamics, and predict replacement of eastern hemlock. Hemlock wooly adelgid was present in 24 stands from Massachusetts to Georgia , and all of these stands had so me degree of hemlock decline. Other N ew England States, Ohio, W estern Pennsylvania, Kentucky , and Alabama had no hemlock wooly adelgid pr esent, and hemlock health was good. Coniferous replacements for eastern hemlock were gen erally scarce and not diverse. Eighteen of the 49 sites had no non-hemlock conifer replacement in the overstory , and 30 of 49 sites had less than 10 m 2 ha -1 of no n-hemlock conifer replacement. Hardwood species in the oversto ry were diverse and extensive. Hard woods comprised a mean of 43 percent of the tot al basal area across all sites. However, if eastern hemlock were removed from the stands, hardwood would make up a me an of 78 percent of the basal area in all stands. Without eastern hemlock, 25 of the stands, mostly in the mid-Atlantic and Southern S tates would have greater tha n 90 percent hardwood in the overstory. Contact: Andrew Dolloff (ADolloff@fs.fed.us)

Recovery of nitrogen pools and processes in degraded riparian zones in the S outhern Appalachians

Establishment of riparian buffers is an effective method for reducing nutrient input to streams. However, the underlying biogeochemical processes are not fully understood. A Station scientist and EPA collaborators studied the effects of riparian zone restoration on soil nitrogen ( N ) cycling mechanisms in a mountain pasture previously degraded by cattle. Soil inorganic N pools, fluxes, and transformation mechanisms were compared across the following experimental treatments: (i) a restored area with vegetation regrowth; (ii) a degraded riparian area with simulated effects of continued grazing by compaction, vegetation removal, and nutrient addition (+N) ; and (iii) a degraded riparian area with simulated compaction and vegetation removal only (-N). Soil solution NO 3 - concentrations and fluxes of inorgan ic N in overland flow were >90 percent lower in the restored treatment relative to the degraded (+N) treatment. Soil solution NO 3 - concentrations decreased more rapidly in the restored treatment relative to the degraded

(-N) following cattle exclusion. Mineralization and nitrification rates in the restored treatment were similar to the degraded (-N ) treatment and, on average, 75 percent lower than in the degraded (+N) treatment. Nitrogen trace gas fluxes indicated that restoration increased the relative importance of denitrification, relative to nitrification, as a pathway by which N is diverted from the receiving stream to the atmosphere. Changes in soil nutrient cycling mechanisms following restoration of the degraded riparian zone were primarily driven by cessation of N inputs. The recovery rate, however, was influenced by the rate of vegetation regrowth. Contact: James Vose (jvose@fs.fed.us)

Vegetative structure found to be more important than food abundance for songbird use

Scientists used an experimental approach to investigate whether bird use differed on forest canopy gaps between treated (arthropods were reduced through insecticide application) and control (untreated) areas within a bottomland hardwood forest in the Upper Coastal Plain of South Carolina. Bird use of early-successional canopy gaps was not affected by arthropod reduction. Birds may have been negatively affected by the reduced arthropod abundance in treated gaps via reduced foraging efficiency, but even this did not induce them to abandon the area. Birds apparently were attracted to the regenerating canopy gaps by their overall vegetative structure rather than by the abundant food resource base there. The abundance of food resources may not be as important in determining avian habitat selection as previous research has indicated, at least for forest-breeding songbirds that use early-successional forest gaps in the Southeastern United States.

Avoiding epicormic branches on southern bottomland hardwood trees

Epicormic branches develop from dormant buds found along the main bole of hardwood trees, and they can cause significant reductions in both log grade and subsequent lumber value. Species, stress, and sunlight have been proposed as the three major factors affecting the production of epicormic branches. Studies found that hardwood tree species vary considerably in their propensity to produce epicormic branches. Most oak species, except cherrybark oak, produced several epicormic branches, even in undisturbed stands, whereas green ash produced few. Across all species, production of epicormic branches generally decreased with increasing tree diameter. Small-diameter willow oaks were especially susceptible to the production of epicormic branches. In general, upper-crown-class trees produced few epicormic branches, whereas lower-crown-class trees produced many. In contrast, stand density appeared to exert little influence on production of epicormic branches by most hardwood species in undisturbed stands. However, production of epicormic branches on Nuttall oak may be somewhat sensitive to stand density. Contact: James S. Meadows (smeadows01@fs.fed.us)

Hydrologic regime effects on the sustainability of endangered pondberry

Pondberry (Lindera melissifolia ) is a federally endangered shrub endemic to the Southeastern United States. A large-scale study investigated the relationship of stem density and hydrologic regime to growth characteristics and intraspecific competition of male and female pondberry. Male and female plants responded similarly to flood duration beyond 14 days by abscising leaves and ceasing growth. Generally, growth characteristics under flood and no-flood conditions did not differ between male and female plants. However, male plants appeared to be better adapted than female plants for colonizing suitable habitat. Both timing and duration of flooding can have a critical impact on first-year, metabolically active pondberry. Therefore, management of periodicity and duration of flooding events should be incorporated into management plans. In reintroduction efforts, limiting interspecific competition with female plants may be necessary until the female plant and subsequent colony become established. Contact: Tracy S. Hawkins (tracyhawkins@fs.fed.us)

75 th Anniversary of Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory celebrated with open-house and participation in Folk Heritage Days

The Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory organized a 1-day open-house and participated in Folk Heritage Days in honor of its 75 th a nniversary. The open-house and Folk Heritage Days were designed to provide public awareness of USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station research by highlighting the state-of-the-knowledge on hydrology, ecology, and ecophysiology of the Southern Appalachians. Coweeta s cientists and staff participated in both events. The open-house included posters, presentations, and demonstrations from scientific experts and professional staff. Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory staffed a booth at Folk Heritage Days, where scientists used posters and demonstrat ions to discuss relevant topics such as climate, biological diversity, and the history of American chestnut. The open house was attended by 239 people representing local agencies and landowner, as well as NGO s . The Folk Heritage Days event was attended by hundred s of seasonal and permanent residents of W estern North Carolina. Contact: James Vose (jvose@fs.fed.us)

Efficiency efforts build relationships and save funds

An all-work unit convened to increase efficiency and productivity among staff and scientists. Discussions among employees from all locations included sharing equipment, technicians, and technical and administrative expert knowledge. A google.blog was established for all technicians and support staff to provide a clearing-house for sharing expertise. The staff has taken advantage of new relationships and mechanisms by creating opportunities to share knowledge and field personnel. The unit has saved funds in a number of areas, including training (training available within the unit, e.g., LiCor CO 2 analyzer for carbon balance research, climate stations with multiplexer and data logger technology related to Campbell Scientific Training) and personnel sharing (e.g., scheduling technicians among subunits to make up critical mass for field work). Reducing the size of the forest fleet saved approximately $6,500 per year in fixed costs and reduced administration.

Partnerships

Citizen Scientists Enhance Ecological Data, Harness Indigenous Knowledge, and Increase Ecological Awareness among Local Communities

Since 1997, m ore than 2.4 million pounds of b lack cohosh ( Actaea racemosa ) root have been harvested from the hardwood forests of Appalachia to ease women's suffering from menopausal symptoms. No efforts are made to manage this resource , and it is extracted from forests without concern for long-term viability. In 2004, a scientist with the National Agroforestry Center partnered with members of the Plant Conservation Alliance, particularly the Garden Club of America and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to examine the impact of harvesting on plant populations , with the intent of providing valuable knowledge that will lead to better management of this valuable resource. Permanent long-term study plots were estab lished in two locations on national f orests in Virginia. Over the years, the partners hip has grown to include the Virginia Native Plant Society, the USDA National Arboretum, the National Parks Conservation Association, Master Naturalists, Radford University, Grayson County Landcare, and others. Volunteer partners cover personal lodging, meals and fuel costs. They inventory plants and harvest the roots. Citizen scientists use personal digital assistants to collect and store data , which are directly transferred to lab computers , eliminating the need for tedious data handling and potential processing problems. Data are used to address how to inventory root volume using above-ground biomass. The involvement of volunteer citizen scientists enables the scientist to collect data he otherwise wouldn't have the resou rces to do. As importantly, this volunteer partnership produce a more informed, better educated group of concerned people who can champion a conservation message for native medicinal plants.

International Rusty Blackbird Technical Group

A Station scientist is a member of the steering committee of the International Rusty Blackbird Technical Group, an ad hoc organization of numerous governmental, nongovernmental, academic and other institutions in the United Stat es and Canada, formed in 2005. More than 20 organizations are involved in the work , including the U . S . Fish and Wildlife Service; Mississippi State University , Delta Branch Experiment Station; U . S . Forest Service , Delta National Forest; and the Smithsonian Institute. Members of the g roup are documenting the status, distribution, and threats to the population of this species, whose num bers have declined more than 90 percent since the 1970s. In 2009, the group sponsored a very successful Rusty Blackbird "BLITZ" in which 173 interested participants sought wintering Rusty Blackbirds and located them at 204 of 453 locations surveyed all across the Southern U nited S tates , where the birds spend the nonbreeding season. SRS s cientists collaborated on a manuscript surveying changes in bottomland hardwood forests across the South to associate habitat changes with population declines. Their unit has hosted visiting scientists annually since 2005 and collaborated with them on their studies of the birds in the landscape of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Contact: Paul B. Hamel (phamel@fs.fed.us)

Two Station scientists hosted two Brazilian student interns who volunteered with the unit from December, 2008 through March, 2009 and two more who volunteered from July, 2009 through November8, 2009. The students are majoring in forest engineering. They studied pondberry ( Lindera melissifolia ) seed predation using video cameras with infrared illumination and a video recorder to monitor animal visitors to seed plots. The purpose of the study was to detect pondberry seed predators and estimate visitation frequency of the seed plots by animals. The students have also installed a study of ecological succession in the Overcup Oak Research Natural Area in the Delta National Forest, MS , and are collecting data. They also helped with bird migration monitoring. The visits have provided the students with new research experiences , and they have provided Station scientists with valuable assistance in several studies.

A Station scientist presented a paper at the short rotations crops international conference. The paper will appear in a refereed publication in a special issue of Biomass Bioenergy .

A Station scientist co-authored a presentation at an IUFRO conference in Rome, Italy. The conference addressed "Innovation and New Horizons in Tree Nursery Stock Production and Forest Restoration - from Research to Business." Presenting at the conference provided an opportunity to exchange scientific and technical knowledge gained through research on seedling quality and afforestation systems for restoration of forests on former agricultural land.

A Station scientist organized and chaired the Cerulean Warbler Summit 3/ Golden-winged Warbler Summit 2 - "Conservation Planning for Migrant and Resident Birds in the Northern Andes" in Bogota and San Vicente de Chucuri, Colombia. He served as chair of the organizing committee for this event, which included the scientific program, as well as presentations to the citizens of San Vicente de Chucuri, of awards and a plaque to the citizens, from the members of the Cerulean Warbler Technical Group and Golden-winged Warbler Working Group. Approximately 100 persons from nine countries attended summit activities. A meeting with a representative of the Colombian Coffee Federation provided guidance to develop further projects related to biodiversity conservation and management of coffee farms. Significant interactions among members of Cerulean Warbler Technical Group and Golden-winged Warbler Working Group have improved communication and research coordination within and between these groups and conservation entities in South America.

A Station scientist travelled to Indonesia, Java, and Sulawesi to bioprospect for novel cellulases. He trained Indonesian scientists and collected microbes in Sulawesi. This trip was funded by a grant from the National Institutes for Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Working with a team, the scientist and others isolated more than 200 easily culturable microbes from the digestive tracts of wood-boring beetle larvae. Ultimately, the microbes will be screened for cellulase activity and pharmacological properties.

A Station scientist collaborated on a proposal with to coordinate a session on "Aquatic Biodiversity Conservation in Forests" for the upcoming XXIII IUFRO World Congress to be held 23-28 August 2010 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The Congress reviewing c ommittee accepted the proposal , and the coordinators are preparing to solicit papers and posters for the session. The goal is t o stimulate thinking and interest within the international forest research community on the importance of forests for maintaining aquatic biodiversity.

A Station scientist collaborated with an Italian postdoctoral researcher to write an invited international review article for the journal Sensors . The article provided a synthesis of international research advances and applications in diverse research fields for the internationally important topic of electronic aroma detection (EAD) or electronic-nose (e-nose) technologies. This review article elucidated a wide diversity of e-nose applications developed hitherto over the past 20 years from diverse disciplines, and revealed for the first time some new, surprising uses in many previously unknown areas of agriculture, biomedical, environmental, forestry, homeland security, manufacturing, military, pharmaceutical, and regulatory as well as various scientific research fields; providing a much broader view of the diverse functionality, practical application range, versatile capabilities, and beneficial utilities afforded by e-nose technologies.
