Bird Diversity And Abundance In Relation To Habitat Complexity At Jack Mountain Wildlife Management Area,

Bird Diversity And Abundance In Relation To Habitat Complexity At Jack Mountain Wildlife Management Area, Grace Tidwell
Honors Theses
Since 1973, North America has lost 2.9 billion birds due to habitat loss and fragmentation. To assess the effects of habitat complexity on bird diversity and abundance, 96 locations were surveyed at Jack Mountain Wildlife Management Area (WMA) using ten-minute point counts. All birds seen and heard at each point were documented, and habitat complexity was assessed by examining the percentage of ground coverage, shrub coverage, midstory tree layer, and canopy coverage at each point. A habitat complexity index was generated from these plant surveys. Previous research at Jack Mountain has shown that habitats dominated by pine trees had the …
The Relative Effects Of Functional Diversity And Structural Complexity On Carbon Dynamics In Late-Successional, Northeastern Mixed Hardwood Forests,

University of Massachusetts Amherst
The Relative Effects Of Functional Diversity And Structural Complexity On Carbon Dynamics In Late-Successional, Northeastern Mixed Hardwood Forests, Samantha Myers
Masters Theses
Late-successional forests provide a unique opportunity to explore adaptive management approaches that mitigate atmospheric carbon dioxide levels through carbon storage while also enhancing ecological resilience to novel climate and disturbances. Typical benchmarks for adaptive forest management include species diversity and structural complexity, which are widely considered to increase ecosystem stability and productivity. However, the role of functional trait diversity (e.g., variation in leaf and stem traits) in driving forest productivity and ecosystem resilience remains underexplored. We leveraged existing continuous forest inventory (CFI) data and collected local functional trait observations from CFI plots within late-successional forests in western Massachusetts to explore …
An Examination Of The Current Knowledge Of Contaminants In Mangroves: Hawaii And Globally,
2023
Portland State University
An Examination Of The Current Knowledge Of Contaminants In Mangroves: Hawaii And Globally, Geoffrey Szafranski
Environmental Science and Management Professional Master's Project Reports
The geographic range of mangrove forests is shifting quickly as they expand poleward in response to climate change while simultaneously being removed from their native extent to clear space for anthropogenic land-uses. Mangrove forests are also known to be sinks for anthropogenic contamination. Yet contamination research is under-researched in mangrove ecosystems, specifically the environmental fate, effect on biodiversity, and risk to human populations from contamination in the context of these changing conditions requires further research. The goal of this thesis is to address this data gap through analysis of contamination in the literature and through an investigational survey of mangrove …

Agroforestry For The Future: Motivations Behind Tasmanian Farmers Planting Trees,

Agroforestry For The Future: Motivations Behind Tasmanian Farmers Planting Trees, Josh Lipp
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Agroforestry is the act of combining farming and tree planting, and many Tasmanian farmers are starting to plant trees on their properties for multiple reasons. Through conducting 9 interviews with farmers and researchers and visiting field sites, 3 main themes were identified to answer the question: why are Tasmanian farmers planting trees, and what are the benefits and downsides to agroforestry? Interviews help us understand farmers’ perceptions of agroforestry, and field data collection will prove the benefits of agroforestry in the future. Tasmania was chosen as the location of study as it is a state in Australia that largely focuses …
Tropical Tree Carbon Storage At Drago Dos Forest In Boca Del Drago, Panama,

Tropical Tree Carbon Storage At Drago Dos Forest In Boca Del Drago, Panama, Ben Dwyer
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Currently, anthropogenic carbon emissions pose a significant, global threat, contributing to Global Warming and Climate Change (CC). Today, the most effective carbon sinks are natural. Trees are highly effective carbon sinks that sequester large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), most greatly in tropical areas. However, tropical tree carbon storage needs to be more accurately estimated to provide valuable information toward mitigating CC and its negative environmental effects. This study aimed to estimate CO2 sequestration at a tropical forest in Boca Del Drago, Panama, and compare it to that of a nearby mangrove forest. It was hypothesized that the tropical …

Analysis And Installation Of A Demonstration Agroforestry Orchard For Californian Mediterranean Plant Communities,

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
Analysis And Installation Of A Demonstration Agroforestry Orchard For Californian Mediterranean Plant Communities, Brandon Hurd
Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Management Projects
Climate-appropriate agroforestry can provide low-input food security and ecosystem services for local Californian Mediterranean climates, while conserving natural resources (e.g., water, nitrogen, etc.). This project showcases a variety of agroforestry methods for five common plant communities of California and other analogous Mediterranean climates at the CAFES Experimental Farm on the campus of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Plant community species and their ethnobotanical uses were analyzed to mimic and incorporate aspects of native flora. Agricultural plants were also characterized to represent each of the five selected plant communities. GIS was used to assess the project site for soil, slope, and …
Systematic Review: Effect Of Cover Crop On Working Farm,

University of Nebraska - Lincoln
Systematic Review: Effect Of Cover Crop On Working Farm, Noella A. Bahatsi
Honors Theses
On-farm research is when research techniques such as randomized, replicated treatments strips and large-scale techniques are used on actual farms or ranches. Due to a great deal of interest and curiosity among farmers and researchers who wish to make their farming methods more profitable, efficient, and/or sustainable, this type of research has been conducted more frequently each year. On-farm research has contributed to economic growth and the transfer of knowledge to farmers because of fresh discoveries and upgraded technology (Lacoste et al., 2022). This is also where farmers collaborate with researchers to test new management practices and technologies providing unbiased …
