Mapping Elaeagnus Umbellata on Coal Surface Mines using Multitemporal Landsat Imagery
… environmental management practices. The invasive autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata) is abundant on former coal surface mines, often outcompeting native trees due to its faster growth rate. The frequent revisit time and spatial and spectral resolution of Landsat satellites make Landsat imagery well …

Physiological and nutritional changes in nitrogen fixing trees associated with autumnal senescence and chilling
In the first of two studies, autumnal leaf senescence of four temperate woody deciduous plants, autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.), black locust (Robinia pseudoacadia L.), American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) and honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos L.), was studied during the autumns …

Assessing the potential of mixed grazing goats with beef cattle to improve animal performance and increase the utilization of marginal pasturelands in the Appalachian coal region
… rose (Rosa multiflora Thunb. Ex Murr.), autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.), and sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dum.-Cours.) G. Don). The steep topography and low economic returns from beef cattle make conventional control methods inhibitive. Goats are effective browsing on …
