Landscape genetics of northern bobwhite and swamp rabbits in Illinois
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and swamp rabbits (Sylvilagus aquaticus) are species both strongly influenced by habitat loss and fragmentation in agricultural landscapes. Population declines for the bobwhite and the paucity of information regarding swamp rabbit prevalence add uncertainty …

Between Swamp and Sea: Agroforestry as Wetland Restoration in Southeast Virginia
… Virginia, adjacent to the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, this applied research design project investigates how adaptive landscape strategies can facilitate marsh migration without sacrificing forested wetland or productive value. Observational studies of marsh migration …

Variability and Drivers of Forest Communities at the Great Dismal Swamp
The Great Dismal Swamp (GDS) is a forested peatland located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Once a mosaic of wetland communities, disturbances (e.g., timber harvesting and ditching) have resulted in altered hydrologic regime, homogenized forest communities, and increased peat subsidence. In …

Drivers and Impacts of Smoldering Peat Fires in the Great Dismal Swamp
… impacts of smoldering fires at the Great Dismal Swamp (VA and NC, USA). First, we developed and verified a new method to model peat burn depths with readily available water level and peat hydraulic property data. Our findings suggest that drainage weakens both short- and long-term controls on …

Hydrologic Controls on Ecosystem Structure and Function in the Great Dismal Swamp
Forested peatlands of the Great Dismal Swamp (GDS) have been greatly altered since colonial times, motivating recent restoration efforts. Community structure and function were hydrologically altered by 19th and 20th century ditches installed to lower water levels and enable early timber harvesting. …

ECOLOGY OF THE SWAMP RABBIT AND EASTERN COTTONTAIL IN BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD FORESTS IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
Swamp rabbit and eastern cottontail populations have declined substantially in Illinois within the last half-century. Habitat loss and fragmentation, particularly of bottomland hardwood (BLH) forest, have left swamp rabbit populations patchily distributed along major rivers in the southern portion …
