"When I see a stand like this I get enthused," said Haywood Parrish, a special projects manager for several southwest Georgia plantations. "I see multiage trees. As one matures and fades away, others come to take its place. This is nature. You have a perpetual property and that's what you want." The Jones Center, founded in 1991 at Ichauway Plantation, south of Albany, has established itself as a world-class institution for studying the longleaf pine ecosystem, which supports endangered species such as the red-cockaded woodpecker, the indigo snake, and the gopher tortoise. "In spite of the many land use changes, our longleaf pine woodlands, our wetlands, and our rivers in southwest Georgia are still remarkable and beautiful ecosystems," director Lindsay Boring said. "We can be concerned about their conservation and stewardship, or we can go the sole route of resource exploitation.... In my opinion, that would be selling out."

Biogeography And Ecology Of The Rain Forests Of Eastern Africa - Cambridge Unive
Home Catalogue Biogeography and ecology of the Rain forests of Eastern Africa.Related Areas Biogeography and ecology of the Rain forests of Eastern Africa.
http://books.cambridge.org/0521430836.htm

Extractions: Biological Sciences In stock Eastern African rain forests are remarkable in their high level of endemism. Miocene uplift of the central African plateau separated these montane and coastal forests from the main Guineo-Congolian forest of west and central Africa. Since then, stable Indian Ocean temperatures maintained a region of high rainfall throughout Pleistocene droughts that devastated forest elsewhere on the continent. Relics of the former Pan-African rain forest survived here, the study of which provides a unique insight into tropical evolutionary processes. This book brings together research on the animals, plants and geography of this intriguing residual forest, and highlights the need for effective management practices to conserve its exceptional biodiversity in the face of increasing pressure for land for cultivation.

Students gain basic understanding of nutrient cycling, energy flow, and plant distribution through a variety of classroom and field activities. Provide students with a definition of forest succession as well as resources illustrating changes in an ecosystem over time. Ask students, individually or in teams, to hypothesize factors at work within this ecosystem (e.g., shade tolerance) and make presentations describing how these factors have determined succession. They apply information obtained from their models to a recently harvested area and an unharvested area to identify what is there and why, and to predict future growth patterns. Ask students to explain how could they test their hypotheses. Invite students to examine different climatic characteristics and elevations in several areas, noting variances in slope and moisture regime, vegetation, and species of plants.

http://www.geocities.com/sciencelives/cloudforest1.html

Extractions: Tropical Montane Cloud Forests One of the most important functions of cloud forests is their hydrologic role. They collect water that would not have otherwise been available by capturing water from the clouds. They reduce erosion because of the high infiltration capacity of their soils (Hamilton et al., 1994.) Also, because the epiphytes absorb water and the vegetation has a low evapotranspiration loss, the cloud forests can store much water (Bruijnzeel and Proctor, 1994.) During the wet season, there is much precipitation. The cloud forests can store this water, minimizing flash floods and landslides. During the dry season, the forests release the water to lower elevations. This water is then available for power generation, irrigation, or for drinking water (Penafiel, 1994.) Cloud forests are also important in areas that do not receive much rainfall, since they can provide water that would not have been available otherwise. Cloud forests are also important as refuges for species. Where forests at lower elevations are cleared, species are forced into the higher-elevation cloud forests (Hamilton et al., 1994.) There is also a high proportion of endemic species in cloud forests. For example, 34 percent of all Endemic Bird Areas have at least one species in cloud forests (Long, 1994.) In addition, cloud forests are important for tourism activities such as birdwatching (Hamilton et al., 1994.) Also, since cloud forest vegetation requires such specific conditions to survive, they are useful sites for monitoring the impact of global climate and air quality changes (Hamilton et al., 1994.)
Ecology Of The Forests Of The Sym Plain, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Siberia
ecology of the forests of the Sym Plain, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Siberia.Furyaev, Valentin V., Ivanova, Gallina A., Angelstam, Per.
http://www.fire.uni-freiburg.de/programmes/other/furayev.htm

Extractions: 8.8.1995 16:30 Room: U16 The Sym plain is an area of low relief, with sandy surface materials of glacial outwash and alluvial origin. Very deep loose deposits are present, and there are numerous lakes and oligotrophic and mesotrophic bogs. Forests are dominated by pure pine stands of the Pinus sylvestrisLedumVaccinium vitis-idaeaPleurozium schreberi, P. sylvestris P. schreberiCladonia sylvatica (40 %), and Pinus sylvestrisPolytrichum commune dwarf shrub Sphagnum (20 %) forest types. Oligotrophic bog ridges with pools covered by P. sylvestrisdwarf shrubSphagnum forest cover 40 % of the landscape. The forest on the experimental fire site is a typical middle taiga pine forest of the Sym plain. Because Atlantic air masses are transformed to continental over the Western Siberian Lowland, zones and subzones are clearly discernible across the landscape. The climate is cool and moist. Average annual air temperature ranges from 3.2 to 5.7°C. Total annual precipitation is 450500 mm, with wide year-to-year variations. Although most precipitation occurs in the summer, frequent dry periods are caused by dry cyclonic air masses coming from the south. In the past century, 26 droughts have occurred in the area (an average of 23 times per decade).

Extractions: Ecology of Semiarid Woodlands and Forests Ecological and hydrological processes are tightly interrelated in semiarid woodlands and forests. We are studying these interrelationships in piñon-juniper woodlands and ponderosa pine forests in northern New Mexico at the Los Alamos Environmental Research Park. Themes of our research include placing our work in the context of a conceptual gradient from grassland through forest, focusing on plant water use and spatial heterogeneity in soil water contentboth vertically with depth and horizontally between the canopy patches of woody plants and the intercanopy patches that separate them, investigating scale-dependencies in runoff and erosion relationships, and assessing ecotone dynamics. Our research results have applications to a variety of environmental problems, ranging from contaminant transport and landfill-cover design to global change.

Extractions: Coram Experimental Forest *** Under Construction *** The Coram Experimental Forest is on the Flathead National Forest near Glacier National Park, 45 km (28 miles) east of Kalispell, Montana. It is an outdoor laboratory dedicated to providing basic information needed to manage western larch (Larix occidentalis) forests. The forest was established in 1933 on 3,019 ha (7,460 acres) of the Flathead National Forest. Western larch and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are the most common of 10 conifer species. The dominant, co-dominant, and many of the understory trees average over 300 years old. A few larch are over 500 years old, survivors of a stand-replacing fire 300 years ago. Second-growth trees range in age from 5 to over 50 years. For nearly 50 years, the Coram Experimental Forest has served as the focal point for much of the research of western larch. Research began in 1948. A wide range of practical studies provides land managers answers to help them effectively manage similar forest lands within the range of western larch in the Inland Mountain West of the United States and southern interior British Columbia. The forest is a thriving field laboratory for studies on the ecology and silviculture of these forests. Research results point the way to proper application of silvicultural practices to achieve ecosystem management goals and enhance biodiversity of species. In 1938, a 339 ha (838 acre) block in the southeastern corner of the forest was reserved as a natual area. It was officially designated the Coram Research Natural Area in 1988.
