A Stand Level Growth and Yield Model for Red Oak/Sweetgum Forests in Southern Bottomlands
A greater emphasis is being placed on hardwood management, yet there has been relatively little effort to develop growth and yield information for hardwood forest types. Measurements on permanent growth and yield plots ...
An Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Classifying Tree Species with LiDAR and Multi-Spectral Scanner Data
Tree species identification is an important element in many forest resources applications such as wildlife habitat management, inventory, and forest damage assessment. Field data collection for large or mountainous areas ...
Predicting Southeastern Forest Canopy Heights and Fire Fuel Models Using Geoscience Laser Altimeter System Data
The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) is a waveform Lidar system carried on board the Ice, Cloud, and Elevation Satellite (ICESat). This study tested the use of GLAS data, from the L3e and L3g campaigns, to estimate ...
Recreational Incidents Liability Insurance and Judicial Interpretation for Fee Access Activities on Nonindustrial Private Forest Lands in Mississippi
Private landowners refrain to open their land for recreational users in the fear of potential liability. This study covered the extent of liability, actual bodily injuries and property damages sustained by hunters and ...
Economic Tradeoffs of Managing Pine Plantations for Timber Production or Wildlife Habitat
Little information is available to nonindustrial-private forest (NIPF) owners regarding economic tradeoffs between managing pine plantations for timber production or wildlife habitat. Loblolly (Pinus taeda) and longleaf ...
Spectral Separability of Longleaf and Loblolly Pines in High-Resolution Satellite Data
The spectral separability of southern pines is a perplexing issue due to limited variance of spectral reflectance in species with similar morphological characteristics. Understory vegetation reflectance may exacerbate the ...
Economic impacts of USDA Forest Service Activities for Mississippi's National Forests and Research Units
Economic impact studies have been conducted on natural resource-related activities throughout the United States. However, a comprehensive analysis of impacts of USDA Forest Service activities has never been conducted in ...
Early Survival and Growth Performance of Two Oak Species and Three Planting Stocks on Hurricane Katrina Disturbed Lands
Survival and growth of two oak species, live oak (Quercus virginiana) and Nuttall oak (Quercus texana), and three planting stocks: 1-0 bareroot, conventional containerized, and Root Production Method (RPM™) seedlings were ...
Using Deuterium and Oxygen-18 Stable Isotopes to Understand Mechanisms of Stemflow Generation as a Function of Tree Species and Climate
Stemflow creates biogeochemical hotspots at tree bases. Few studies examine bark structure effects on stemflow generation via stable isotopes. Stemflow volume and isotopic composition (δD, δ18O) were measured over 15 months ...
Flux and Source of Dissolved Organic and Inorganic Constituents in Managed Headwaters of the Upper Gulf Coastal Plain, Mississippi
Headwater watersheds initiate material export to downstream environments. A nested headwater study examined the flux and source of dissolved constituents and water from a perennial stream and four ephemeral/intermittent ...
