Effects of tree morphology on rainwater partitioning in an upland oak forest
Due largely to fire exclusion and land use changes, upland oak ecosystems in the central and eastern U.S. are shifting dominance from fire-tolerant oaks (Quercus spp.) to shade-tolerant, fire-sensitive species (mesophytes). ...
Protein network of FT1 and FT2 in poplar reproduction
(Mississippi State University, 2010-06-23)
Understanding the signaling mechanisms that determine juvenile-to-mature transition and bud fate is vital for controlling tree reproduction. FD-like proteins also appear to be important for initiating reproductive development. ...
Measuring the biological and economic effects of wildlife herbivory on afforested carbon sequestration sites in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley
(Mississippi State University, 2007-06-67)
Mammalian herbivory of bottomland hardwood seedlings has been listed as one of the primary causal factors of failed afforestation efforts in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV). This study examined the biological ...
Competition control in mid-rotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stands
(Mississippi State University, 2010-06-28)
Woody competition during mid-rotation limits available nutrients to crop species. Mid-rotation competition control was evaluated to determine if applications would result in significant increase in growth. Two studies were ...
Evaluating Change In Regional Economic Contributions Of Forest-Based Industries In The South
The timberlands in the South provide a large resource base for forest-based industry. This resource base is utilized to provide major contributions to the southern economy. Aruna et al. (1997) examined southern forest-based ...
Nonindustrial private forest landowner participation in incentive programs and regeneration behavior
Nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners have been major players in increasing forest productivity and improving forest health. Understanding what factors influence landowner participation in government programs, and ...
Comparing survival and growth among three different planting stocks of water oak (Quercus nigra) and white oak (Quercus alba) on lands damaged by Hurricane Katrina
Bareroot, conventional containerized, and large potted EKOgrown® seedlings of water oak (Quercus nigra) and white oak (Q. alba) were planted on two Hurricane Katrina damaged sites in south Mississippi. After two growing ...
Underplanted shortleaf pine seedling survival and growth in the North Carolina Piedmont
A study was established to evaluate underplanting as a method of reestablishing shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. Replicated treatment plots were harvested to retain 0, 15, 30, ...
Business clusters in Mississippi's forest products industry
(Mississippi State University, 2010-04-27)
A spatial analysis was used to examine location of Mississippi’s forest products manufacturers and identify potential forest business clusters. A Poisson regression was used to examine the impact of transportation ...
Economic Impacts Of White-Tailed Deer From Hunting In Mississippi
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are an important ecological, social, and economic resource in Mississippi. Studies have been conducted on expenditures by white-tailed deer hunters, but none have administered a ...
