Effects of Air vs. Air+Soil Heating During a Simulated Heat Wave on White Oak (Quercus alba) and Black Oak (Quercus velutina)
Extreme weather events are a growing focus of global climate change research. Extreme events, which occur abruptly and unpredictably, are often more detrimental to terrestrial vegetation than gradual shifts in climate. One type of event, the summer heat wave, may already be increasing in some areas …

Initial Revegetation Of Small But Severely Disturbed Areas In The Oak-Hickory Forest Of Southwest Missouri
… A. virginicus and Vaccinium vacillans. Quercus velutina was a late invader. A possible explanation of the revegetation process included relay floristics and intitial floristic composition. The role of random seed dispersal in the revegetation process is indicated.

Trees and Structural Soil as a Stormwater Management System in Urban Settings
… penetration increases soil infiltration rate. Quercus velutina, Acer rubrum, and a no-tree variant were planted in 26.5 L (7 gal) containers and the rootballs surrounded by compacted clay loam. Roots grew into all layers of the compacted soil. Infiltration rate increased by 63% (+/-2%) compared …

Biology of the Rare Woodland Perennial Trillium Pusillum Micheaux (Liliaceae) in Southwest Missouri
… tree species at Baker and Heckmaster were oak (Quercus velutina) and hickory (Carya texana and C. cordiformis, respectively) vs. hickory (Carya spp.) and walnut (Juglans nigra) at Hoover Woods. Sequential and total pollinator visits were lower at Hoover Woods, suggesting that T. pusillum on that …

Growth of Understory Saplings in a Forest Exposed to Elevated Carbon Dioxide
… Elevated CO2 increased the leaf lifespan of Quercus velutina and decreased it for Ulmus alata, with variation among species and years. Leaves in elevated CO2 generally had a higher probability of surviving to a given leaf lifespan. Inherent characteristics such as investment in leaf tissue …
