Post-Fire Recovery Of Juglans Californica In Sycamore Canyon: Gas Exchange Performance Of Unburned Mature And Burned Epicormic And Basal Resprouts, Taylor Stucky, Gabby Gurule-Small
Post-Fire Recovery Of Juglans Californica In Sycamore Canyon: Gas Exchange Performance Of Unburned Mature And Burned Epicormic And Basal Resprouts, Taylor Stucky, Gabby Gurule-Small
Featured Research
Sycamore Canyon experienced a fire during April of 2013. This allowed for the comparison of burned and unburned individuals in the area. Based on its resprouting types and abundance in the area, Juglans californica made for a good test species. A total of eighteen individuals were tagged and used with a LiCor6400-XT to find fluorescence, Jmax, Vcmax, TPU, gm, photosynthesis, and conductance. Leaf samples were sent to California State University, Bakersfield for Nitrogen analysis to obtain PPNUE and percent nitrogen (with specific leaf area). These data were compared between unburned mature, and burned basal and epicormic resprouts. ANOVA testing established …

Our study focused on post-fire recovery in the California Black Walnut, Juglans californica. Our study was conducted Sycamore Canyon, an area of the Santa Monica Mountain Range recently damaged by the April 2013 fires. Part of our study focused on water potential and water stress among J. californica; we examined differences in the water potentials of mature, unburned trees and resprouts which have grown since the fires in April. We found that mature trees have a significantly higher water potential than sprouts, either epicormic or basal, which indicates that they are better equipped to handle water stress. We also found …

In April 2013, Sycamore Canyon experienced a major wildfire. This study investigates post-fire recovery of two types of resprouts, basal and epicormic, and compares multiple parameters to mature unburned Juglans californica. In this study, we investigate the influence of time of day on the post-fire water potential of mature unburned plants versus burned Juglans californica epicormic and basal resprouts. One way ANOVA test reveals p
