Plant Succession on Burned Areas in Okefenokee Swamp Following the Fires of 1954 and 1955 EUGENE CYPERT Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge U.S
Plant Succession on Burned Areas in Okefenokee Swamp Following the Fires of 1954 and 1955 EUGENE CYPERT Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and 'Wildlife Waycross, GA 31501 INTRODUCTION IN 1954 and 1955, during an extreme drought, five major fires occurred in Okefenokee Swamp. These fires swept over approximately 318,000 acres of the swamp and 140,000 acres of the adjacent upland. In some areas in the swamp, the burning was severe enough to kill most of the timber and the understory vegetation and burn out pockets in the peat bed. Burns of this severity were usually small and spotty. Over most of the swamp, the burns were surface fires which generally killed most of the underbrush but rarely burned deep enough into the peat bed to kill the larger trees. In many places the swamp fires swept over lightly, burning surface duff and killing only the smaller underbrush. Some areas were missed entirely. On the upland adjacent to the swamp, the fires were very de structive, killing most of the pine timber on the 140,000 acres burned over. The destruction of pine forests on the upland and the severe 199 EUGENE CYPERT burns in the swamp caused considerable concern among conservation ists and neighboring land owners. It was believed desirable to learn something of the succession of vegetation on some of the more severely burned areas. Such knowl edge would add to an understanding of the ecology and history of the swamp and to an understanding of the relation that fires may have to swamp wildlife. -

IMPACTS OF LAUREL WILT DISEASE ON NATIVE PERSEA OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Forest Resources by Timothy M. Shearman May 2016 Accepted by: Dr. G. Geoff Wang, Committee Chair Dr. Saara J. DeWalt Dr. Donald L. Hagan Dr. Julia L. Kerrigan Dr. William C. Bridges ABSTRACT Laurel Wilt Disease (LWD) has caused severe mortality in native Persea species of the southeastern United States since it was first detected in 2003. This study was designed to document the range-wide population impacts to LWD, as well as the patterns of mortality and regeneration in Persea ecosystems. I used Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data from the U.S. Forest Service to estimate Persea borbonia (red bay) populations from 2003 to 2011 to see if any decline could be observed since the introduction of LWD causal agents. -

Fact Sheet ST-436 October 1994 Persea borbonia Redbay1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION This handsome North American native evergreen tree can reach 50 feet in height with a comparable spread but is often seen somewhat shorter and wider, particularly when grown in the open in an urban area (Fig. 1). The glossy, leathery, medium green, six-inch leaves emit a spicy fragrance when crushed and the inconspicuous, springtime flower clusters are followed by small, dark blue fruits which ripen in fall. These fruits are enjoyed by birds and squirrels and add to the tree’s overall attractiveness. The trunk bears very showy, ridged, red-brown bark and frequently branches low to the ground forming a multi-stemmed habit Figure 1. Mature Redbay. similar to live oak, but it can be pruned to make a single, short central leader which would be most suitable for many urban plantings.

FULL ACCOUNT FOR: Xyleborus glabratus Xyleborus glabratus System: Terrestrial Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Animalia Arthropoda Insecta Coleoptera Curculionidae Common name Xyleboro (Italian), Holzborher (German), redbay ambrosia beetle (English), Asian ambrosia beetle (English), xylébore (French), Ambrosiakäfer (German) Synonym Similar species Summary Xyleborus glabratus is an ambrosia beetle native to Asia which is the only known vector of a newly discovered fungus Raffaelea lauricola that causes laurel wilt in members of the Lauraceae family, most notably redbay trees (Persea borbonia) and avocado (P. americana). The recent introduction, rapid spread, and high mortality rates associated with X. glabratus and R. luaricola implicate the complex as a serious threat to the survival of redbay trees in southeastern United States. Furthermore, its invasive potential to the avocado industry in Florida and elsewhere could be devastating. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description Xyleborus glabratus is a small, slender, cylindrical beetle about 2 mm long and brown or black in color. Its punctures are relatively large, larger and deeper than on the elytral disc, and the surface is shinny. The posterio-lateral portion of the declivity has a distinct raised, almost carinate margin. The first interstriae have a distinct tubercle at the middle of the declivity, and interstria 3 has a much smaller tubercle at about the same position. Its blackish coloration, nearly glabrous upper surface, and abrupt apical declivity helps to distinguish it from other members of its genus. Positive identification typically requires examination by a specialist. Males of are dwarfed, haploid, and flightless (Rabaglia, 2008; Cameron et al, 2008; Hodges & Eickwort, 2009).
