Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As scientific understanding about ecological processes has grown, the idea that ecosystem dynamics are complex, nonlinear, and often unpredictable has gained prominence. Of particular importance is the idea that rather than following an inevitable progression toward an ultimate endpoint, some ecosystems may occur in a number of states depending on past and present ecological conditions. The emerging idea of “restoration thresholds” also enables scientists to recognize when ecological systems are likely to recover on their own and when active restoration efforts are needed. Conceptual models based on alternative stable states and restoration thresholds can help inform restoration efforts. New Models for Ecosystem Dynamics and Restoration brings together leading experts from around the world to explore how conceptual models of ecosystem dynamics can be applied to the recovery of degraded systems and how recent advances in our understanding of ecosystem and landscape dynamics can be translated into conceptual and practical frameworks for restoration. In the first part of the book, background chapters present and discuss the basic concepts and models and explore the implications of new scientific research on restoration practice. The second part considers the dynamics and restoration of different ecosystems, ranging from arid lands to grasslands, woodlands, and savannahs, to forests and wetlands, to production landscapes. A summary chapter by the editors discusses the implications of theory and practice of the ideas described in preceding chapters. New Models for Ecosystem Dynamics and Restoration aims to widen the scope and increase the application of threshold models by critiquing their application in a wide range of ecosystem types. It will also help scientists and restorationists correctly diagnose ecosystem damage, identify restoration thresholds, and develop corrective methodologies that can overcome such thresholds.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetlands are found across the world providing habitats, nutrients and economic resources to many plants, animals and human communities. However, wetlands can succumb to many stressors and plant succession. If maintaining a certain wetland type is the ideal outcome, then one way to sustain wetland types and reduce the invasion of woody species is to use prescribed fire. Prescribed fire can be used to "reset" successional phases and keep woody/shrub species from establishing and changing the existing wetland type. The US Forest Service uses this technique of prescribed fire to reduce fuel loading and to limit the encroachment of woody species on the wet meadow wetland in the Boy River system of the Chippewa National Forest in northern Minnesota. The plot survey method was used to collect percent coverage and average heights of the plants in five burn units of the wet meadow wetland that had different burn histories. The goal was to determine if at least one of these burn unites was statistically different from the rest and undergoing successional changes. This information, along with soil core samples, varying burn histories and running Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index calculations in ANOVA helped determine if the burn units were being maintained as a wet meadow wetlands or it succession changed the wetland type after prescribed burning. The results indicate that Burn Unit 1 was statistically different from the rest of the burn units with a Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index of 1.50 +-0.23, had lower values from the soil core data and had more woody species with taller average heights. Burn Unit 1 indicated wetland succession into woody species habitat, where the other burn units maintained a more diverse herbaceous vegetation community after their annual burns.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We evaluated effects of annual, prescribed burning on vigor of the noxious weed, sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata; SL) in native tallgrass prairie over a 4-yr period. We hypothesized that annual prescribed burning conducted during the growing season would selectively pressure SL, whereas locally-conventional, dormant-season prescribed burning would have no effect on SL. A 50-ha native tallgrass pasture infested with SL (initial basal frequency = 2 ± 1.3%, initial aerial frequency = 36 ± 3.4%) was used for our study. It was divided along watershed boundaries into 9 fire-management units (5 ± 2.6 ha) for this experiment. Burn units were assigned randomly to 1 of 3 prescribed-burning times (n = 3 / treatment): early spring (1 April; EARLY), mid-summer (1 August; MID), or late summer (1 September; LATE). Forage biomass, SL aerial frequency, SL stem length, SL seed production, soil cover, and plant species composition were measured along single, permanent 100-m transects in each burn unit. Treatment and measurement date influenced forage biomass and SL stem length (treatment × time). Forage biomass was not different (P e"0.43) between treatments on 17 July; however, forage biomass was greater (P

Book excerpt: Prescribed fire is a common land management tool in the southeastern United States. Historical fires occurred primarily in the growing season, but modern day prescribed fire is commonly restricted to the dormant season. Plant community responses to various fire regimes are relatively unknown, and managers require information on how fire regimes impact plant communities. To address these limitations, I studied the impacts of March and June fire on plant communities. Results indicated various woody midstory species respond differently to fire season and community response is driven by species composition. In another study, I examined impacts of February, May-June, and September-October backing and heading fires on midstory and understory vegetation. Results indicated May-June fires maximized midstory mortality and growing-season fires maximized herbaceous understory coverage while dormant-season fire promoted resprouting woody species. Managers can use this information to tailor fire prescriptions to specific properties to better meet management objectives.
