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.

  • An Inventory of the Significant Natural Areas of Scotland County, North Carolina
    AN INVENTORY OF THE SIGNIFICANT NATURAL AREAS OF SCOTLAND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Harry E. LeGrand, Jr. North Carolina Natural Heritage Program Office of Conservation and Community Affairs Department of Environment and Natural Resources Raleigh, NC Funding provided by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service May 2005 ABSTRACT This inventory of the significant natural areas, natural communities, and rare species of Scotland County was funded by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Trust Fund and by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This report identifies the most significant natural areas in the county, describes their features, and documents all of the natural communities and rare species of plants and animals associated with them. Recommendations for management and protection of each of these sites is given. A total of 31 significant standard sites, and two large managed areas, are described. Both of the large managed areas – Sandhills Game Land and Camp Mackall Military Reservation – are Nationally significant for containing large numbers of rare species and exemplary examples of sandhills communities; previously identified natural areas within these managed areas are only briefly discussed in this report because they are already in conservation ownership and are not “newly-identified” or “newly-described” sites. Of the standard sites described here in detail, the only Nationally significant natural area is the McIntosh Bay Complex, a group of at least four clay-based Carolina bays. There are several State significant natural areas, a few of which are in private (or nearly all private) ownership and are not protected.
