Mapping Ancient Baldcypress Forests for Conservation at Black River, North Carolina
<p>A few ancient baldcypress-bottomland hardwood forests survive across the southeastern United States in a mosaic of remnant old-growth stands left untouched by extensive logging during the early 20th century. Uncut stands in the Southeast that survived centuries of disturbance following European …

Sedimentation in a Tupelo-Baldcypress Wetland 12 Years Following Harvest Distubance
… measured in a water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica)- baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) forested wetlandin years 2, 7, 10 and 12 following harvesting disturbance. A 3 X 3 Latin Square design was replicated three times and compared to a psuedo-replicate reference stand (REF). Disturbance treatments were …

Baldcypress Growth in South Carolina and Georgia: Lapses in its Correlation with Spring Precipitation
… stream flow and drought data for the Baldcypress chronologies on the Georgia/South Carolina (GA/SC) coastal plain. The correlations of Baldcypress tree ring growth with local growth season precipitation-related indicators exhibit a sequence of high and low periods between 1870 (when …

LiDAR-Assisted Extraction of Old Growth Baldcypress Stands Along The Black River of North Carolina
<p>The remnants of ancient baldcypress forests continue to grow across the Southeastern United States. These long lived trees are invaluable for biodiversity along riverine ecosystems, provide habitat to a myriad of animal species, and augment the proxy climate record for North America. While …

Restoration through reassembly: evaluating the role of native plants in combatting Chinese tallow
… and water tupelo, sugarberry, green ash, and baldcypress (<em>Taxodium distichum</em>[L.] Rich). I found that mixed community depressed the dominance of tallow in the flooded and low irradiance treatment, however, leaf area and leaf biomass of tallow increased in the mixed community in the …

The effect of habitat change on nutrient removal in the Atchafalaya River Basin, Louisiana
… floodplain, such that lakes are transitioning to baldcypress swamps and bottomland hardwood forests. These habitats differ in their available nutrient reservoirs and the rates at which they transform and store nutrients. This dissertation investigated the major retention and removal mechanisms for …

Interactions of insect herbivory and multiple abiotic stress agents on two wetland tree species in southeast Louisiana swamps
… defoliation of the two dominant trees, baldcypress (Taxodium distichum L. Rich) and water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica L.), occur frequently during spring. In Louisiana, the baldcypress leafroller, BCLR, (Archips goyerana Kruse) and the forest tent caterpillar, FTC, (Malacosoma disstria …

Analysis of Fossil Pollen from a Pleistocene Cypress Forest Preserved on the Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Shelf
… reflecting an assemblage typical of contemporary baldcypress swamps. Pollen assemblages then shift in both cores, as Poaeceae becomes dominant in the upper sections. I interpret this as a transition from a baldcypress swamp to more open coastal marsh as marine transgression occurs. During the …

Ecological-Hydrological Feedback in Forested Wetlands
… was developed and calibrated across six baldcypress chronologies. Best model fits were obtained with parameters that suggest permanently flooded trees may benefit from deeper flooding. Last, measurements across differently flooded sites showed that more flooded sites had sparser forests …

Restoration and Water Management in the Atchafalaya River Basin, Louisiana
… important ecosystems, notably the expansive baldcypress-water tupelo swamp forests. Analysis of the current flow regime reveals a 12-92% increase in mean monthly discharge over the past 80+ years, but a 24-43% decrease in mean monthly stage in large portions of the basin. Current restoration …

A Multidisciplinary Approach for Determining the Extents of the Beds of Complex Natural Lakes in Louisiana
In Louisiana, the beds of natural lakes are owned by the state. The locations of property boundary lines separating state property from private lands have usually been set by determining the levels of natural monuments known as ordinary high water marks. The term is confusing and subjective, …
