  • Characteristics of the Cross Timbers Region
    Characteristics of the Cross Timbers Region Once a rural area thriving on agricultural practices such as cotton, peach, corn farming, and cattle ranching, the Cross Timbers Region is an area that was thickly wooded with Post and Blackjack Oaks and a mixture of prairies. This area covers portions of Kansas, Oklahoma and north central Texas. It also served as a north-south travel corridor for Native Americans so that they could remain hidden on their journey. For settlers, the Cross Timbers Region was a landmark that signaled the beginnings of Indian Territories and the western frontier. Ecologically, the Cross Timbers Region serves as habitat for large populations of mammals and birds. Much of this can be attributed to the area’s combination of ecological characteristics provided by heavily forested areas and prairies. One of the largest and most common of all wildlife living in the Cross Timbers Region is the white tail deer. Deer sustain large populations due to the abundant food sources associated with oak forests and prairie habitats. The area continues to provide wildlife with an adequate water supply through creeks and streams. The availability of water has been enhanced by the development of constructed lakes, ponds, and stock tanks for watering cattle, and agricultural uses. The Town of Flower Mound is located in the southeastern finger of the Cross Timbers Region. This area is typically dominated by Post (Quercus stellata) and Blackjack Oaks (Quercus marilandica). These two species of trees are drought- tolerant, low in stature, wind sculptured, slow growing, and poorly suited for urbanized areas. Originally, these trees were found in areas affiliated with tall grass prairies, however, over time much of the prairie areas have been sodded with Bermuda grass and seeded with Bahalia grass for grazing purposes.

  • Structure, Composition, and Regeneration of Cross Timbers Forest Fragments in Different Land Use Contexts
    STRUCTURE, COMPOSITION, AND REGENERATION OF CROSS TIMBERS FOREST FRAGMENTS IN DIFFERENT LAND USE CONTEXTS Ingrid Dunn Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Alexandra Ponette-González, Major Professor Mathew Fry, Committee Member C. Reid Ferring, Committee Member Paul Hudak, Chair of the Department of Geography Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Dunn, Ingrid. Structure, Composition, and Regeneration of Cross Timbers Forest Fragments in Different Land Use Contexts. Master of Science (Applied Geography), May 2015, 85 pp., 17 tables, 12 figures, references, 120 titles. Throughout its current range, the Cross Timbers forest ecosystem is vulnerable to land- use change. In this study, we examined the surrounding land use matrix on the vegetation structure, composition and regeneration of six Cross Timbers forest fragments in Denton County, Texas (north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex). Two fragments adjacent to agricultural land, two to residential neighborhoods, and two formally protected forest sites were selected. In summer 2015, five 100 m2 plots were randomly established in each fragment at least 200 meters from the edge. In each plot, all live and dead trees ≥ 3 cm diameter were identified and their height and diameter at breast height (DBH at 1.3 m aboveground) measured. Evidence of dumping (presence of trash) was recorded as an index of human frequentation. Differences in vegetation structure among the forest fragments were found. Most notably, fragments adjacent to agriculture contained 25% to 50% fewer trees per hectare than all other sites (Kruskal-Wallis, p < 0.02), especially trees <10 cm DBH.
