The Ecological Impacts of Wild Boar Rooting in East Sussex The ecological impacts of wild boar rooting in East Sussex By Natasha K.E. Sims BSc. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (D. Phil.) School of Biological Sciences University of Sussex September 2005 I Acknowledgements I am primarily grateful to Dr. Libby John and Dr. Alan Stewart for their supervision of the project and continual support of my work. For their kind help and voluntary assistance with this project, I am indebted to (in alphabetical order) Dr. Cheryl Case, Dr. Martin Goulding, Dr. Steve Harrison, Prof. Sue Hartley, David Hopper, Prof Mike Hutchings, Dr. Rupert Sims, Dr. Noel Smith, David Streeter, and Dr. Martyn Stenning. For their generosity and kindness in allowing my use of their land, I am tremendously grateful to my friend Anja Cordell and to Steve Peters and John Stafford from Forest Enterprise of the Forestry Commission. My deepest appreciation goes to Duncan Pope and Ninerra for their unwavering patience and endurance beyond the call of duty throughout the project. Finally, I want to thank my dearest parents, Robin and Freddy Sims, for their understanding, support and strength, without which this work could not have been completed. II Abstract The aim of the thesis was to assess the ecological impacts of wild boar rooting for up to three years on above and belowground community attributes and processes in semi-natural habitats in southern England. The research tested the hypothesis that wild boar are important allogenic ecosystem engineers. Plant species richness, percentage cover and diversity were significantly greater from rooted than non-rooted treatments across woodland, grassland and woodland ride habitats. Abundance of various plant functional groups was differentially affected by rooting within different habitats. Protection from re-rooting by fencing had a significant positive impact on recovery of several plant functional groups and total plant cover. Numbers of Hyacinthoides non-scripta individuals and flowering stems were significantly lower in rooted than non-rooted treatments in woodland, although the proportional change in H. non-scripta cover over three growing seasons was significantly greater in rooted than non-rooted treatments, illustrating substantial recovery. Rooting had no impact on H. non-scripta seed weight although seed viability and total numbers of seeds per capsule and per plant were significantly greater from rooted than non-rooted treatments. Rooting significantly altered the viable seed bank in terms of overall abundance, species richness, diversity and functional group responsiveness measured by seedling emergence from soil of woodland and grassland habitats. It was suggested that the seed bank density was greater in rooted than non-rooted soil and, through altered soil properties, dormancy breaking mechanisms and germination were increased. It was suggested that emergence from the viable seed bank could largely contribute to the re-establishment of plants in rooted areas. Leaf litter decomposition rate in woodland, soil NO3- concentration in woodland and grassland, soil NH4+ concentration in grassland were significantly greater from rooted than non-rooted soil. Further, belowground live plant biomass was significantly reduced in rooted than non-rooted soil in woodland and grassland. These belowground community attributes are fundamental determinants of productivity, performance and dynamics of the whole community. It was concluded that the ecological impacts of rooting are patchy and fluctuate in distribution. Rooting transforms biotic and abiotic material from one physical state to another and fundamentally contributes to modifying the structure and dynamics of the whole community. It was concluded that wild boar are important allogenic ecosystem engineers.

Once an integral feature of British woodlands, this former native animal has returned to a profoundly different environment. Around six and a half thousand years ago, Britain was covered by a vast expanse of wild woodland, and home to the wild boar (Rackham, 1997). By approximately two thousand years ago, little wild wood remained, and the majority of woodland present was actively managed as, for example, coppice or wood pasture (Rackham, 1997; UK Agriculture, 2006). With the advancement of civilisation, modern woodland has become extremely fragmented and is actively managed, covering only around 11% of England (Rackham, 1997). This novel situation has only previously occurred in Sweden where, as in Britain, a wild boar population that became extinct (around the turn of the 17th century) re-formed from captive escapees during the 1970‟s (Welander, 2000a). The environmental impact of the current population in southern England is visually dramatic although localised and seasonal (Goulding, 2003b; Wilson, 2005; pers.

  • Good Foundations Academy Reading and Literacy Policy
    Building Knowledge and Character GOOD FOUNDATIONS ACADEMY READING AND LITERACY POLICY PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY The development of literacy is one of the primary aims and focuses of effort at GFA. This includes a great deal of reading from a variety of both fiction and non-fiction primary literature. Particularly in the early grades, GFA emphasizes reading and more reading. Most American schools dedicate two or more hours each day to “literacy.” A majority of time is spent teaching children the fundamentals of reading strategies, such as making inferences, predicting, classifying, and looking for the main idea. The purpose of these exercises is to bolster test scores, independent of real knowledge. In contrast, GFA strives to develop the appreciation of language, increase specific knowledge, and provide meaning to students through the achievement of Primary Literacy, Mature Literacy, and Moral Literacy. Primary Literacy Primary Literacy begins with phonic recognition. Our goal in the early grades is for students to receive explicit, systematic phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. Children are provided deliberate, coherent, direct instruction in letter-sound correspondences. Practices which teach children to rely on word-memorization (the look-say method) and guessing (through illustration and/or context) are avoided. Once phonetic decoding skills are introduced, fluency must be developed. Fluency allows students to focus their mental energies on comprehension rather than decoding. Fluency means “flowing,” and in this context it also means “fast.” Fluency takes practice - a lot of it. Riggs & Open Court Phonics, selected stories from Open Court, and selected books from Accelerated Reader (AR) are the primary sources for the development of decoding skills and fluency at GFA.

  • THE FREDDY the PIG SERIES by Walter R. Brooks Illustrated by Kurt Wiese
    THE FREDDY THE PIG SERIES by Walter R. Brooks illustrated by Kurt Wiese Introduction With the 1927 publication of To and Again (later re-titled Freddy Goes to Florida), Walter R. Brooks began a series that would ultimately stretch to twenty-six volumes and become a classic of 20th century American children's literature. Especially memorable for the richness of their characterizations, the books about the pig nonpareil and his many friends are also unforgettable celebrations of the value of friendship and the practical virtues of loyalty, steadfastness, kindness, and simply doing the right thing. Always inventive in their plotting, satisfying in the authenticity of their rural and small town settings, filled with memorable phrases and homely wisdom, the Freddy books capture the same kind of American spirit as do the Homer Price books by Robert McCloskey, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, and Robert Lawson's Ben and Me and Rabbit Hill. Like these other masters, Brooks never underestimated or wrote down to his readers. His respect for them is reflected in the richness of his language and the thoughtfulness of his themes. Most importantly, perhaps, his are among the very first enduringly significant humorous children's books of the 20th century. And they contain the best kind of humor, still fresh and relevant to today's readers; it arises naturally out of character and incongruity, is embellished with wonderfully inventive and witty word play, and is never mean or hurtful. It springs from both the mind AND the heart, a reason the Freddy books are universally beloved by readers of all ages.
