This book was released on 2017 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildland fires are becoming more frequent and more severe in the United States, due in part to climate change and in part to long-term fire suppression and the subsequent build-up of fuels. Following wildfires of greater severity than what were historically present in an area, plant community recovery trajectories may diverge from the pre-disturbance plant community. The Lost Pines region of central Texas supported the westernmost stands of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) in the United States. In 2011, a wildfire burned most of Bastrop State Park (BSP), located in the Lost Pines. Pre-fire, BSP was a mostly closed-canopy forest dominated by loblolly pine and several species of oak (Quercus spp.), with sparse herbaceous vegetation and a dense mid-canopy of yaupon (Ilex vomitoria). Most plants in BSP were either killed or top-killed in the wildfire. We studied pre- and post-fire plant community dynamics to understand and predict post-fire plant community recovery trajectories. Top-killed oak species sprouted vigorously in more severely-burned plots (Chapter 1, Chapter 2); yaupon sprouted in all burn severity classes (Chapter 3). Loblolly pine, which can only recruit from seed, established more slowly than sprouting species, in part due to the transitory inhibitory effect of an erosion control product (Chapter 3). In the first year after the fire, it appeared that oak sprouts might out-compete loblolly pine seedling recruitment. However, in 2015, a large loblolly pine recruitment event occurred following a year of unusually high precipitation (Chapter 1, Chapter 2). These results indicate recovery trajectories towards continued survival of the loblolly pine population in BSP, although with a potentially greater abundance of oak species than what was present pre-fire. Furthermore, yaupon is likely to re-form dense thickets such as those present pre-fire without measures to prevent woody plant encroachment. Immediately post-fire, the herbaceous plant community increased in abundance, richness and diversity, likely due to greater canopy openness (Chapter 4). Very few invasive species were present either pre- or post-fire (Chapter 5). Alternate trajectories towards open-canopy savanna with a diverse understory community and lower mid-story tree abundance could be maintained by management actions such as prescribed fire or mechanical thinning.

Download or read book Economic Adjustment And Conversion Of Defense Industries written by John E. Lynch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defense plant cutbacks and military base closures have affected hundreds of U.S. communities during the past twenty-five years. Tracing the recovery of four communities after large defense plant cutbacks and of one hundred communities after military base closures, the contributors analyze the transition from the production of military to civilian goods. The contributors examine the market potential of reusing defense industrial plants to produce civilian products within the one- to two-year period called for by economic conversion proponents, showing that the complex process needed to develop, test, and market an entirely new product requires a minimum of five years. They also review the wide range of economic development techniques available at the state and local level, conversion approaches in Western Europe, programs for displaced workers, and reasons why the economic conversion approach has failed to attract public support in the United States. The case studies are used to formulate an integrated, composite approach for coping with plant closures and major employment dislocations. Stressing the in portance of community-based economic adjustment activities, this book will be valuable to all concerned with mitigating the effects of military and civilian plant closures.

Download or read book Health Wellbeing and Community Recovery in Fukushima written by Sudeepa Abeysinghe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the issue of disaster recovery in relation to community wellbeing and resilience, exploring the social, political, demographic and environmental changes in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The contributors reflect on the Fukushima disaster of earthquake, tsunami and radiation contamination and its impacts on society from an interdisciplinary perspective of the social sciences, critical public health, and the humanities. It focuses on four aspects, which form the sections of the work: Living with Risk and Uncertainty Vulnerability and Inequality Community Action, Engagement and Wellbeing Notes from the Field The first three sections present research on the long-term consequences of the disaster on community health and wellbeing. These findings are enhanced and developed in the ‘Notes from the Field’ section where local practitioners from medicine and community recovery reflect on their experiences in relation to concepts developed in the previous sections. This work significantly extends the literature on long-term wellbeing following disaster. The case study of Fukushima is a multi-faceted process that illuminates wider issues around post-disaster regeneration in Fukushima. This problem takes on new importance in the context of Covid-19, including direct parallels in the issues of risk measurement, social inequality, and wider wellbeing impacts, which public health disciplines can draw from.
