The Ecology Of Pieris Floribunda Benth. And Hook., An Ericad, In A Pine-Heath Community In The Great Smoky Mountains, Caroline Triplett Wingfield Mar 1968

The Ecology Of Pieris Floribunda Benth. And Hook., An Ericad, In A Pine-Heath Community In The Great Smoky Mountains, Caroline Triplett Wingfield

Masters Theses

A member of the heath family, Ericaceae, Pieris floribunda Benth. and Hook. is endemic to the Southern Appalachian Mountains, its distribution being concentrated in the higher elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

For many years these small shrubs have been noted growing beside the trails in the Park in some of the most xeric habitats, especially pine-heath communities, along with other ericaceous plants. By close examination of the climatology, soils and associated vegetation of these habitats, it was hoped that some clues might be found as to what factors allow P. floribunda to survive and reproduce in these …

Factors Involved In The Maintenance Of The Grassy Balds Of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Stephen Walker Radford Mar 1968

Factors Involved In The Maintenance Of The Grassy Balds Of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Stephen Walker Radford

Masters Theses

The National Park Service, realizing that the montane treeless areas (grass balds) endemic to the Southern Appalachian Mountains were being rapidly overgrown by woody species where not grazed, burned, or managed, wanted to determine "if management of the balds is justifiable and if so what procedures would accomplish the aim without initiating a sequence of changes worse than those resulting from no management." (Park Service Contract)

Before a bald management program can be logically considered, factors involved in the natural maintenance must be determined. This particular study was conducted to examine possible factors. An intensive climatic documentation to two of …
