Recovery status of a cypress (Taxodium distichum)-water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) wetland seven years after harvest disturbance
… (Taxodium distichum L. Rich.)-water tupelo ~ aQuatica L.) swamp located in the Mobile-T ensaw River Delta of Southwestern Alabama was harvested in the fall of 1986. Harvest treatments included: c1earcutting the entire study area with helicopter log removal, or with an added simulated …

Sedimentation in a Tupelo-Baldcypress Wetland 12 Years Following Harvest Distubance
… and loss were measured in a water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica)- baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) forested wetlandin years 2, 7, 10 and 12 following harvesting disturbance. A 3 X 3 Latin Square design was replicated three times and compared to a psuedo-replicate reference stand (REF). Disturbance …

Factors affecting root system response to nutrient heterogeneity in forested wetland ecosystems
… styraciflua, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Nyssa aquatica) in a potted study, which was related to species' flood tolerance. My results suggest that the environmental context of plants can affect roots system response to nutrient heterogeneity in forested wetland ecosystems and highlights …

Flood Processes, Forest Dynamics, and Disturbance In the Congaree River Floodplain, South Carolina
… forest, which was replaced almost exclusively by Nyssa aquatica.</p> <p> Processes and patterns evidenced in the Congaree River floodplain provide a glimpse of the various controls and successional pathways that produce heterogeneous forest patterns. A 2D flood model proves to be a valuable tool …

Swamp ecology in a dynamic coastal landscape: an investigation through field study and simulation modeling
… of individuals of Taxodium distichum and Nyssa aquatica trees in a 1-km2 spatial grid, using historical time-series of stage and salinity data as inputs. IBM simulations predicted that increased flooding leads to swamps with reduced basal areas and stem densities, while increased salinity …

Interactions of insect herbivory and multiple abiotic stress agents on two wetland tree species in southeast Louisiana swamps
… (Taxodium distichum L. Rich) and water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica L.), occur frequently during spring. In Louisiana, the baldcypress leafroller, BCLR, (Archips goyerana Kruse) and the forest tent caterpillar, FTC, (Malacosoma disstria Hubner) defoliate up to 120,000ha of baldcypress-tupelo swamps. …
