Changes In Plant Community Composition, Structure, And Function In Response To Permafrost Thaw,

Changes In Plant Community Composition, Structure, And Function In Response To Permafrost Thaw, Katherine Standen
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Air temperature is increasing at three or more times the global average in high latitudes, causing widespread permafrost thaw across the boreal biome. Since the boreal biome stores 30-40% of global terrestrial carbon (C), of which about 30-45% is found in permafrost soils, this temperature increase could cause a large efflux of C to the atmosphere. Climate warming and permafrost thaw are also expected to alter plant community composition and productivity and, given the link between plant functional traits and ecosystem C fluxes, may alter overall ecosystem function. Across the boreal biome of western Canada, we know surprisingly little about …
The Role Of Edge Effects On Emerald Ash Borer Infestation And Forest Responses,
2022
Hollins University
The Role Of Edge Effects On Emerald Ash Borer Infestation And Forest Responses, Bronte Hoefer
Undergraduate Honors Theses
The emerald ash borer (EAB; Agrilus planipennis) is a buprestid beetle native to Asia, classified as an invasive species in North America. EAB infests trees of genus Fraxinus (ash) and has spread to 35 states since its introduction in the early to mid-1990s. Notably, EAB has the potential to functionally extirpate all native ash species in North America. Our study aims to characterize the ecological impacts of EAB infestation in the Roanoke Valley of Southwest Virginia, to quantify the impact of edge effects on EAB forest invasion and mortality of ash trees, as well as investigate the role that …

Safety In The Woods: Studying The Effectiveness Of The Kentucky Master Logger Program, Austin Winn Leake
Theses and Dissertations--Community & Leadership Development
Logging is a dangerous field; in this study the researcher looks to see the knowledge both before and after professional loggers participate in the Kentucky Master Logger Program. This information was used to see the overall effectiveness of the Kentucky Master Logger Program. The researcher found an overall improvement in logging professionals’ perceptions and understanding of logging safety. The researcher recommends creating an emphasis on a safe work culture through safety incentives and a greater focus on less used personal protective equipment such as insecticide
Eight-Year Regeneration Response To Gap-Based Irregular Shelterwood Practices In Oak Dominated Stands Near Berea, Kentucky,

Eight-Year Regeneration Response To Gap-Based Irregular Shelterwood Practices In Oak Dominated Stands Near Berea, Kentucky, Brooke Elizabeth Gauthier
Theses and Dissertations--Forestry and Natural Resources
This research examined regeneration dynamics following gap-based irregular shelterwood practices in intermediate productivity oak (Quercus)-dominated stands located in Berea College Forest, Berea, KY, USA. Established in 2012, the study includes 12 experiment units comprising a circular harvest gap (30 m radius) and a matrix zone delineated around the circumference of the gap, which extended 30 m from the gap edge into the adjacent forest. A midstory removal treatment was performed within six of the experiment units’ matrices, while six matrices were left untreated (control). Belt transects extending 60 m from gap center to the end of the matrix zone were …
Bat Activity On West Virginia Mined Lands Restored Via The Forestry Reclamation Approach,

Bat Activity On West Virginia Mined Lands Restored Via The Forestry Reclamation Approach, Briana C. Snyder
Theses and Dissertations--Forestry and Natural Resources
The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) is a practical guide to reforesting surface mined lands. Bats, as a unique group of species with declining populations, could benefit from this reforestation. In order to determine if the FRA is providing suitable bat foraging habitat, I surveyed bat activity at created depressional wetlands on 1-year old and 8-year old FRA restored lands (FRA1; FRA8), as well as at naturally formed wetlands in regenerating forest on traditionally reclaimed mined land (~40 years old; REGEN) and wetlands in mature forest not previously mined (MAT). I passively recorded echolocation calls for 12 nights across sixteen sites …
Rna Interference For Emerald Ash Borer Suppression: Ecotoxicological Assessment And Delivery Methods,

University of Kentucky
Rna Interference For Emerald Ash Borer Suppression: Ecotoxicological Assessment And Delivery Methods, Flavia Pampolini
Theses and Dissertations--Entomology
The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a highly invasive phloem-feeding insect native to Asia. It has killed millions of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) since its accidental introduction into North America, causing profound economic and ecological impacts. RNA interference (RNAi) or double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-mediated gene silencing is an emerging biotechnology that is developing as an innovative tool for pest management. Exogenous dsRNA triggers the RNAi pathway, silences genes, and disrupts protein function, causing insect mortality. RNAi has proven effective in reducing target gene expression and causing mortality in EAB; however, two aspects stand as barriers …
Callery Pear Removal Experiment: Trees-Intact (Medlar Conservation Area),

Five Rivers MetroParks Collaboration Data Archive
The invasive tree Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is problematic in open habitats in the American Midwest. We investigated the efficacy of various control techniques on P. calleryana invasion in grasslands. Treatments were applied to P. calleryana stems that were single-stemmed trees (around 7 years; n = 40 stems), and response of those stems was measured.

The invasive tree Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is problematic in open habitats in the American Midwest. We investigated the efficacy of various control techniques on P. calleryana invasion in grasslands. Treatments were applied to P. calleryana stems that had experienced mowing annually for several years and were sprouting (n = 100 stems) and response of those stems was measured.

Sublethal Effects Of Two Entomopathogenic Fungi Species, Metarhizium Anisopliae And Beauveria Bassiana, On The Cabbage Aphid (Brevicoryne Brassicae), Mahdieh Mousavi, Fariba Mehrkhou, Nurper Güz, Yobert Goosta, Remzi̇ Atlihan
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
We evaluated the sublethal (LC25) effects of the three native strains of two important entomopathogenic fungi (EPFs) species (Metarhizium anisopliae AB, M. anisopliae Iran 245, and Beauveria bassiana 106) on the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae) which is among the most destructive pests of cole crops. Studies were carried out in controlled conditions providing 25 ± 2 °C, 60% ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 16:8 h (L:D). The age-stage, two-sex life table method was used for data analysis. The results indicated that EPF treatments affected the population growth rate of the aphids by causing prolongation of …
Crude Extracts And Essential Oil Of Platycladus Orientalis (L.) Franco: A Source Of Phenolics With Antioxidant And Antibacterial Potential As Assessed Through A Chemometric Approach, Marwa Khammassi, Rayda Ben Ayed, Sana Khedhiri, Mouna Souihi, Mohsen Hanana, Ismail Amri, Lamia Hamrouni
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The chemical composition, antioxidant properties and antibacterial activities of different extracts (water, ethanol, acetate ethyl and hexane) and essential oil from Platycladus orientalis leaves were analysed in this study. The essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation, and its chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The major components of the essential oil were α-pinene (40.2%), β-phellandrene (9.3), α-cedrol (9.2%) and β-caryophyllene (6.3%). Phytochemical analysis of crude extracts and essential oil revealed the richness of ethyl acetate and ethanolic extracts in total phenolic content (62.69 and 61.44 mg GAE/g DW, respectively). The antioxidant activities of all …
