Ecology of Root-Feeding Insect Assemblages in Fire-Manipulated Longleaf Pine-Wiregrass Ecosystems
… root-feeding insect assemblages in longleaf pine wiregrass (Pinus palustris-Aristida stricta) ecosystems of southwestern Georgia, U.S.A. On a random basis, study sites were burned at least every other year (B), or left unburned (UB) for about 9 years. Fine root productivity and root-feeding insect …

Effects of Site Preparation, Seed Germination, and Harvest Maturity on Wiregrass Restoration Efforts at Fort Stewart, GA
<p>Wiregrass (Aristida stricta Michx.) was once the dominant ground cover species within the Atlantic Coastal Plain longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystem. Less than 1 million hectares of intact longleaf pine-wiregrass communities remain, due primarily to anthropogenic activities. …

Home Range, Reproduction, and Habitat Characteristics of the Female Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus Polyphemus) in Southeast Georgia
… on Ft. Stewart that contain the longleaf pine/wiregrass ecosystem. Vegetation characteristics were consistent between the different areas that tortoises inhabited. Soil types were similar between areas and consisted of Blanton, Bonifay, Fuquay, Albany Sand, Chipley, Echaw, Centenary, Stilson …

Small Mammal Habitat Associations in a Fragmented Agricultural Landscape
… was highest for old field and longleaf pine-wiregrass habitats. Pine plantation and upland hardwood habitats yielded the lowest relative abundance per trapping effort. Species showed significant differences in patterns of habitat selection. A principal components analysis (PCA) revealed two …

Tactical Escape Behavior and Performance of a Small Sceloporine Lizard in Two High Risk Habitats
… Florida, i.e. sand-pine scrub and longleaf pine-wiregrass sand-hills. The differing microhabitats of scrub and longleaf pine factor into the distribution and density of lizard populations throughout the Ocala National Forest in Florida. Understanding strategies to avoid predation between these …

Managing disturbance in the longleaf pine ecosystem: effects of managed fire regime characteristics on fire hazard and community ecology at multiple spatial scales
… gradient from typical understory shrubs and wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana) to sites characterized by vines and understory hardwoods. Boundary line regression showed a significant negative relationship between forb abundance and MFI; however, this relationship did not extend to graminoids. …

Effects of Fire on the Ectoparasites of Small Mammals in Longleaf Pine (Pinus Palustris) Habitats
I tested the hypothesis that fire significantly decreases prevalence and abundance of ectoparasites and therefore increases the condition of small mammals in longleaf pine habitats. I trapped two areas with paired burned and unburned sites in east central Georgia during 2002 2003. I collected 190 …
