Effects Of Flooding On Herbaceous Species Of The White Cedar-Tamarack Woods In Cedarburg Bog, James A. Reinartz, Steven Kroeger
Effects Of Flooding On Herbaceous Species Of The White Cedar-Tamarack Woods In Cedarburg Bog, James A. Reinartz, Steven Kroeger
Field Station Bulletins
A part of the northern lowland forest of Cedarburg Bog was flooded about eight years ago as a result of clogged road culverts. Studies of the effects of flooding on species composition, productivity, hydrology and soils were begun in 1982. Post flooding studies will commence when the natural water levels are restored (ca 1984). This paper compares the frequencies of herbaceous species in the flooded woods with an adjacent portion of unflooded woods. The pattern of species' abundances within the flooded woods is related to the degree of inundation and grazing history of the site. Significantly different frequencies were found …
Behavioral Studies Of Black-Capped Chickadees At The Uwm Field Station, Millicent S. Ficken
Behavioral Studies Of Black-Capped Chickadees At The Uwm Field Station, Millicent S. Ficken
Field Station Bulletins
This report summarizes studies of the behavior of Black-capped Chickadees (Parus atricapillus) conducted at the UWM Field Station since 1970. Vocalizations and responses to predators are emphasized. Chickadees are very social and their calls are more complex than those of non-social avian species.
Vascular Plants Near The Margins Of Their Range In Cedarburg Bog. Part Ii. Dicots, James A. Reinartz, Gay E. Reinartz
Vascular Plants Near The Margins Of Their Range In Cedarburg Bog. Part Ii. Dicots, James A. Reinartz, Gay E. Reinartz
Field Station Bulletins
There are two species of gymnosperms and 18 monocots that are near the southern edge of their geographic range in Cedarburg Bog (Reinartz and Reinartz 1981). Six of these may actually reach their range boundary in the bog. Nine species of the Cyperaceae and seven Orchidaceae comprise the bulk of the monocot species that are near their southern limits. The purpose of this paper is to provide an annotated listing of dicot species which have geographically marginal populations in Cedarburg Bog.
Summer Birds Reaching The Margins Of Their Range At The Cedarburg Bog And The Uwm Field Station, John H. Idzikowski
Summer Birds Reaching The Margins Of Their Range At The Cedarburg Bog And The Uwm Field Station, John H. Idzikowski
Field Station Bulletins
In a previous article, Reinartz and Reinartz (1981) described the monocot and gymnosperm plants that reach their range limits at the Cedarburg Bog. The bog forest consists primarily of·white cedar (Thuja canadensis) and tamarack (Larix laricina) and includes a string bog plant community, all typical of wetlands further north. The summer fauna also possesses an ecologically northern relict flavor. This is especially true of the most conspicuous vertebrates, the birds. Many bird species found in the bog are more closely associated with the transitional and boreal forests of Canada and northern Wisconsin than with the deciduous forests and fields that …
