Ecological-Hydrological Feedback In Forested Wetlands, Scott Thomas Allen
Ecological-Hydrological Feedback In Forested Wetlands, Scott Thomas Allen
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
In forested wetlands, the biotic and abiotic consequences of water level variability is not well understood. The effects of flooding on carbon and water exchanges are important knowledge gaps where progress could benefit management of natural resources and predicting of changes in surface geophysical cycles. Two specific needs are a better understanding of (1) wetland tree responses to hydrologic variations, and (2) the effects of the forest and associated tree stressors on surface energy and water fluxes. Objectives were to determine effects of flooding on evaporation rates and energy dynamics, tree water use and growth responses to river-floodplain connectivity and …
