Changes in avian diversity and potential invasive seed dispersal post-wildfire in a Southeastern deciduous forest; Flipper Bend Woods, Signal Mountain, Tennessee
In eastern deciduous forests, fire-disturbance and its ecological implications have not been heavily studied. In Tennessee, a recently burned site (2016) presented a unique opportunity to analyze habitat regrowth two-three years after a major wildfire thought to have been worsened by invasive …

Assessing the cumulative impact of disturbance on canopy structure and chemistry in Appalachian forests
Eastern forests experience a range of disturbance events over time, from stand-replacing disturbances, such as clear cuts, to ephemeral disturbances, such as insect outbreaks. By understanding the cumulative impact of disturbances on canopy structure and chemistry, we can gain insight into …

From land to water: the impacts of forest disturbances on carbon cycling in northern catchments
… disturbed by biotic and abiotic events. These disturbances are especially important since they facilitate the redistribution of nutrients within and between ecosystems, which can alter resource use and productivity. Yet how various types of disturbances, both individually and in combination, …

Integrated modeling and dynamics simulation for the next generation space telescope
… performance in the presence of dynamic onboard disturbances during science observations. This is due to the fact that NGST will make extensive use of deployable, inflatable and lightweight components, which leads to high modal density and light damping of the structural plant. An integrated …

The effects of sample disturbance on preconsolidation pressure for normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays
Sample disturbance has always been a particularly challenging topic in Geotechnical Engineering exercise. The effect and importance of disturbance on stress-strain history and undrained shear strength of soft clays are well stated in the literature over the past decades. However, in practice, few …

Responses of a Louisiana oligohaline marsh plant community to nutrient loading and disturbance
… to nutrient loading (3 N x 3 P treatments) and disturbance (both planned lethal disturbance and stochastic tropical storm/hurricane disturbance). Sampling was conducted seasonally from April 2004 to September 2006. Spartina patens and Schoenoplectus americanus are co-dominant plant species in …
