Assessment of silvicultural practices to improve survival and growth of pioneer and mid-successional hardwoods on old field restoration sites
… American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis L.) and willow oak (Quercus phellos L.) planted on an old field riparian area in the Virginia Piedmont. American sycamore seedlings subjected to greenhouse flood preconditioning had 25% greater height and willow oak seedlings grown under normal greenhouse …

The Effects of Mechanical Site Preparation Treatment and Species Selection on Survival and Carbon Pools in 12-Year-Old American Sycamore (<i>Platanus occidentalis</i>) and Willow Oak (<i>Quercus phellos</i>) Riparian Plantations in the Southeastern U.S. Piedmont
… (American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and willow oak, (Quercus phellos) on forest establishment and carbon storage across multiple pools, namely in planted trees, herbaceous vegetation, fine roots, organic soil horizons, and the mineral soil. At 12 years, we found that species selection was …

Suction Cup Lysimeter Method for Extracting Pine Bark Substrate Solution
… with pine bark substrate and Quercus phellos L. (willow oak) trees. Volumes extracted were somewhat erratic and not strongly dependent upon centibars of vacuum or extraction time. Lysimeters immersed in water demonstrated that variability was not due to individual lysimeters, but to the coarse …

Effect of Ingestion by Alligator Snapping Turtles (Macrochelys Temminckii) on Seeds of Riparian Vegetation
… (Diospyros virginiana), tupelos (Nyssa sp.), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and pecan (Carya illinoensis). Captive specimens of M. temminckii were fed samples of the above-mentioned seeds to assess how the species affects ingested seeds in order to evaluate the potential role this species may …

Examination of the impact of the natural environment on levee sustainability, An
… identified forests composed of sweetgum, nuttal oak, and willow oak as being highly sustainable for the construction and maintenance of levees. Plots of sycamore, pecan, and American elm trees and water bodies identified by ecophysiography were rated as the least sustainable environments for …

Development of Urban Tree Growth Models Based on Site and Soil Characteristics
Trees provide numerous benefits crucial to urban environments, yet poor growing conditions often prevent trees from reaching their genetic potential for growth, longevity, and ecosystem function. To overcome these limitations, greater understanding of tree growth in the urban environment is needed. …
