Corticular Photosynthetic Dynamics for a Coastal Evergreen Shrub: Myrica Cerifera
… in 1st through 5th order branches of Myrica cerifera L. (Myricaceae) in order to determine whether corticular photosynthesis contributes to whole plant carbon gain by reducing respirational CO2 loss. Maximum % refixation was 110 ± 39 % of CO2 efflux in the dark (Rd) in 1st order …

Seasonal and Spatial Variation in Leaf Area Index, Litter Production, and Light Levels in Myrica Cerifera,Shrub Thickets Across a Barrier Island Chronsequence
… litter production and understory light levels of Myrica cergera shrub thickets were assessed on Hog Island, Virginia to quantify spatial and seasonal variations in leaf area and light attenuation among four thickets representing a successional chronosequence and compare methods of estimating LA1 …

The Role of Nitrogen Availability, Hydroperiod and Litter Quality in Root Decomposition Along a Barrier Island Chronosequence
… swales was determined by dominant vegetation. Myrica cerifera, a woody nitrogen-fixing shrub, occurred in older (36 and 120 year) swales, produced roots high in nitrogen and immobilized nitrogen during decay. Highly lignified woody 36 year swale roots exhibited the slowest rate of decay and …

Wax Myrtle and Myrtle Warblers: Reciprocal Specialization and its Consequences in a Temperate Fruit-Frugivore Interaction
… (Dendroica coronata coronata) and wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera). Far from being one of a group of ecologically redundant dispersers, these warblers are the most valuable quantitative and qualitative contributors to this plant's recruitment on Assateague Island National Seashore, U.S.A. Fecal …

Thinning and Fertilizing Young Coastal Plain Hardwoods
… were more shrubs (predominantly wax myrtle [<i>Myrica cerifera</i> L.]) and vines (predominantly poison ivy [<i>Toxicodendron radicans</i> L.]) on the thinned-only treatment. The combined thinning and fertilization treatment resulted in the highest levels of incremental growth between 1997 and …

Carbon Pools and Fluxes as an Indicator of Riparian Restoration
… resistant litter types, specifically waxmyrtle (Myrica cerifera L.) and alder (Alnus serrulata (Ait.) Willd.). Decomposition rates did not differ between the individual successional stages. Riparian forests are intimately associated with their hydroperiod. During flood events the riparian forest …

Predicting Multi-trophic Consequences of an Emerging Disease
… species upon which displays were hung (Myrica cerifera and Triadica sebifera) and the accessibility of the displays. Using motion-activated cameras I confirmed foraging bouts on both P. borbonia and C. camphora fruits by three bird species (Dumetella carolinensis, Turdus migratorius, and …
