The effects of the invasive exotic Chinese tallow tree (Triadica sebifera) on amphibians and aquatic invertebrates
… an emphasis on the effect of Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) leaf litter on anuran larvae (i.e., frog tadpoles). This question is important to our understanding of how allochthonous inputs to aquatic habitats drive biodiversity in wetlands. It also addresses a timely conservation concern in …

CLIMATE CHANGE, SHIFTS IN TROPICAL STORM REGIMES AND TRIADICA SEBIFERA INVASION IN COASTAL MISSISSIPPI, UNITED STATES
… occurrence of juveniles of the invasive exotic Triadica sebifera and co-occurring native species, Baccharis halimifolia, Ilex vomitoria, and Morella cerifera in the field in relation to surrounding environmental factors, (ii) to assess the effects of elevated salinity across a typical coastal …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE INVASIVE CHINESE TALLOW (TRIADICA SEBIFERA) LEAF LITTER ON AQUATIC CHEMISTRY AND MICROBIAL COMMUNITY COMPOSITION
… and invasive plant, Chinese Tallow (<em>Triadica sebifera), </em>has already invaded much of the south eastern US where it is outcompeting native tree species and changing ecosystem diversity in a variety of habitats. Leaf litter from the Chinese tallow has been shown cause changes in …

Novel Relative Spontaneous Ignition Temperature Determination Using Carbon Dioxide Onset with STA/IR
… the thermal degradation of samples from <em>Triadica sebifera </em>(Chinese tallow), <em>Ligustrum sinense </em>(Chinese privet), and <em>Ilex vomitoria </em>(yaupon) plants. Identification of carbon dioxide was successful with a spectral match of 90.2 percent and further used in the …

SEASONAL FLAMMABILITY COMPARISONS OF NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANTS IN THE POST OAK SAVANNAH, BLACKLAND PRAIRIE, AND PINEYWOODS ECOREGIONS OF TEXAS
… and two deciduous species: Chinese tallow (<em>Triadica sebifera</em>) and southern red oak (<em>Quercus falcata</em>). Live foliar and small diameter branch wood samples were collected in the Pineywoods, Post Oak Savannah, and Blackland Prairie Ecoregions during the dormant (February) and …

Specificity in the ecology and evolution of plant defense against herbivores: Identity and history
… using native and invasive populations of Triadica sebifera that differed in historic herbivore pressure. Greenhouse studies demonstrated that populations from the native range with a history of intense herbivory invested more in indirect herbivore resistance (extrafloral nectar production) …

Influence of fire and habitat on the removal of invasive plant seeds by granivores in longleaf pine savannas
… (Elaeagnus umbellata, Albizia julibrissin, Triadica sebifera, and Melia azedarach), in longleaf pine savanna that varied spatially in time since fire, in the Sandhills of North Carolina. I selected eight sites burnt one growing season prior, and nine sites burnt three growing seasons prior, …

NATURAL REGENERATION DYNAMICS AND SURVIVAL INFLUENCED BY ABIOTIC AND BIOTIC FACTORS IN A BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD FOREST
… treated with herbicide for Chinese tallow (<em>Triadica sebifera </em>L.) and one untreated, reference area.</p> <p>Shade-tolerant species were, in general, more common in the regeneration layer than shade-intolerant species. Less-desirable native species, such as water-elm (<em>Planera …

Restoration through reassembly: evaluating the role of native plants in combatting Chinese tallow
… non-native, invasive tree, Chinese tallow (<em>Triadica sebifera</em> [L.] Roxb.), hereafter tallow, across different flooding and light regimes, I investigated how restructuring native communities with valuable native species will prevent the reestablishment of tallow. I studied the changes in …

Chinese Tallow Long-Term Impact on Stand Dynamics in a Bottomland Hardwood Forest Following Vegetation Management
<p>Chinese tallow (<em>Triadica sebifera</em> (L.) Small) is an invasive tree known to have negative impacts on bottomland hardwood forests. Chinese tallow is proficient in reproducing and surviving in bottomland hardwood forests because it is more flood and shade tolerant than most native trees. …

Predicting Multi-trophic Consequences of an Emerging Disease
… 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 Catharus guttatus). …
