Native plants are more likely to survive without fertilizer or frequent watering. 79 4.

  • Biogeomorphic Characterization of Floodplain Forest Change in Response to Reduced Flows Along the Apalachicola River, Florida
    RIVER RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS River. Res. Applic. (2009) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/rra.1251 BIOGEOMORPHIC CHARACTERIZATION OF FLOODPLAIN FOREST CHANGE IN RESPONSE TO REDUCED FLOWS ALONG THE APALACHICOLA RIVER, FLORIDA J. ANTHONY STALLINS,a* MICHAEL NESIUS,b MATT SMITH b and KELLY WATSON b a Department of Geography, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32308, USA b Graduate Program in Geography, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32308, USA ABSTRACT The Apalachicola–Chattahoochee–Flint (ACF) River basin is an important ecological and economic component of a three-state region (Florida, Alabama and Georgia) in the southeastern U.S. Along the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida, the duration of floodplain inundation has decreased as a result of declining river levels. Spring and summer flows have diminished in volume because of water use, storage and evaporation in reservoirs, and other anthropogenic and climatic changes in the basin upstream. Channel erosion from dam construction and navigation improvements also caused river levels to decline in an earlier period. In this paper, we document trends in floodplain forest tree species composition for the interval spanning these influences. Historic tree inventories from the 1970s were compared to present-day forests through non-metric multidimensional scaling, indicator species analysis (ISA) and outlier detection. Forests are compositionally drier today than in the 1970s. Overstory to understory compositional differences within habitats (levees, high/low bottomland forest and backswamps) are as large as the species contrasts between habitats. Present-day forests are also compositionally noisier with fewer indicator species. The largest individual declines in species density and dominance were in backswamps, particularly for Fraxinus caroliniana Nyssa ogeche and Nyssa aquatica.

  • Bald Cypress and Water Tupelo
    AN EXAMINATION OF HISTORIC WETLAND LOSS IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI FLOODPLAINS USING GENERAL LAND OFFICE SURVEYS by MATTHEW HARPER JOE WEBER, COMMITTEE CHAIR SAGY COHEN JONATHAN BENSTEAD A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geography in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Matthew Aaron Harper 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Prior to European settlement of America in the late 16th century, a relatively pristine environment existed on the North American continent. Since that time, landscape-altering processes such as logging, deforestation for agricultural cultivation, channelization, and the removal of natural ecosystems engineers such as the beaver (Castor canadensis) have left little of its natural state unchanged. Alluvial floodplains within the upper Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi and the bottomland hardwoods that occupy them are especially sensitive to change, already being naturally dynamic environments in which loose sedimentary soil participates in a perpetual cycle of deposition and erosion as the main river channel meanders across their broad valleys. These changes result in microhabitats with varying degrees of inundation, rates of deposition, and elevation. This thesis attempts to reconstruct the pre-European settlement ecology of northern Mississippi alluvial floodplains through the use of General Land Office (GLO) survey records of the area from the early 19th century. A specific effort will be made to detect wetland environments based upon a surveyor’s recorded bearing trees and line descriptions. A bearing tree, or a witness tree, is a tree that is physically marked by a surveyor to indicate a nearby survey corner.

    Nyssa aquatica L. Water Tupelo Cornaceae Dogwood family R. L. Johnson Water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), also called cotton- base that tapers to a long, clear bole and often occurs gum, sourgum, swamp tupelo, tupelo-gum, and in pure stands. A good mature tree will produce com- water-gum, is a large, long-lived tree that grows in mercial timber used for furniture and crates. Many southern swamps and flood plains where its root kinds of wildlife eat the fruits and it is a favored system is periodically under water. It has a swollen honey tree. Figure l-The native range of water tupelo. The author is Principal Silviculturist (retired), Southern Forest Experiment Station, New Orleans, LA. 474 Nyssa aquatica Southeast, such as the Roanoke and Santee, and in the large swamps of southwestern Louisiana and southeastern Texas. On some sites water may reach a depth of 6 m (20 ft) during rainy seasons and may remain as high as 4 m (13 R) for long periods (21). Surface water may disappear from water tupelo areas in midsummer or fall, but on better sites soil moisture remains at or near saturation level throughout most of the growing season. Soils that commonly support water tupelo range from mucks and clays to silts and sands and are in the orders Alfisols, Entisols, Histosols, and Incep- tisols. Most are moderately to strongly acidic; subsoil frequently is rather pervious. Site index of water tupelo for several Midsouth soils ranges from 21 to 27 m (70 to 90 ft) at 50 years (4).
