Forest colonization of savannas : patterns and process
… in a South African savanna. I used a 50 year fire experiment in the Kruger National Park to explore patterns of forest colonization in a mesic Terminalia sericea savanna. I studied woody seedling and sapling distribution in relation to different burning treatments, including no burning, and …

Torsional behavior of RC beams strengthened with PBO-FRCM composite
… the inability to install on wet surfaces or in low temperatures, low fire resistance, low glass transition temperature, low reversibility, and lack of vapor permeability. This study includes an inclusive investigation of the torsional behavior of RC beams strengthened with externally bonded …

Holocene vegetation history and environmental change in the forest-grassland mosaic of the Central Highlands of Madagascar
… new records of vegetation, hydrological change, fire and herbivory activities by using a multiproxy approach, which includes fossil pollen, stable carbon isotopes, diatoms, charcoal and coprophilous spores, that allows for a comprehensive investigation into the history and drivers of vegetation …

Holocene Fire History Reconstruction of a Mid-Evaluation Mixed-Conifer Forest in the Eastern Cascades, Washington
Fire histories of mid-elevation mixed-conifer forests (MEMC) are uncommon, particularly in the eastern Cascades of Washington. As a result, fire regimes and the effects of 20th century fire suppression in these forests are not well understood. In the summer of 2014 a 7.80 meter-long sediment core …

Invasive Interactions
This paper discusses the body of work developed for my thesis, Invasive Interactions, which represents abstracted trees as a metaphor for humanistic situations. Through my forms I will discuss equality, abuse, isolation, community, and at the fundamental level, nature itself. Invasive Interactions …

Encapsulation of Waste in Cementitious Systems for use in Civil Engineering Applications
… plastic concrete may be of particular benefit in low fire risk buildings such as sport centres and playgrounds, farmhouses, DIY outlets, outbuildings, storage units, garden centres among others. The high porosity of the encapsulated plastic concrete may also distinguish them as pervious concrete …

Supplementary refuge as a tool for recovering small mammals and reptiles after fire
Global fire regimes are becoming more frequent, severe, and extensive. Within Australia, this trend was demonstrated by the unprecedented scale and ecological impact of the 2019-2020 Black Summer fires. Small mammals and reptiles are of particular conservation concern due to their reliance on …

Managing disturbance in the longleaf pine ecosystem: effects of managed fire regime characteristics on fire hazard and community ecology at multiple spatial scales
… longleaf pine ecosystem is adapted to frequent, low-intensity fire, however, naturally occurring fire no longer burns with sufficient frequency to maintain the ecological structure and function necessary to sustain high levels of biological diversity. To compensate, aggressive prescribed fire …

Firestorms in a mesic savanna-forest mosaic
… are maintained by positive feedback loops with fires, promoting fires in savannas and excluding fires in forests. Occasional extreme fires do however burn into forest edges and cause extensive mortality. So, while our understanding of bistability in these systems has advanced, our understanding …
