Journal ArticleDOI
An indicator of tree migration in forests of the eastern United States
Christopher W. Woodall,Christopher M. Oswalt,James A. Westfall,Charles H. Perry,Mark D. Nelson,Andrew O. Finley +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare current geographic distributions of tree seedlings (trees with a diameter at breast height ≤ 2.5 cm) with biomass (tree with aiameter at breast length > 2 cm) for sets of northern, southern, and general tree species in the eastern United States using a spatially balanced, region-wide forest inventory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergence of species responses to climate change
Songlin Fei,Johanna M. Desprez,Kevin M. Potter,Insu Jo,Jonathan Knott,Christopher M. Oswalt,Christopher M. Oswalt +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of abundance data over time for 86 tree species/groups across the eastern United States spanning the last three decades indicates that changes in moisture availability have stronger near-term impacts on vegetation dynamics than changes in temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Microstegium Vimineum (Trin.) A. Camus on native woody species density and diversity in a productive mixed-hardwood forest in Tennessee
TL;DR: The results indicate that M. vimineum may have a negative impact on native woody species regeneration in southern forests, negatively impacting species diversity and seedling density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifts in dominant tree mycorrhizal associations in response to anthropogenic impacts
TL;DR: This work uses forest inventory data consisting of more than 3 million trees to develop a spatially resolved “mycorrhizal tree map” of the contiguous United States and shows that anthropogenic influences have increased AM tree dominance during the past three decades in the eastern United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass losses resulting from insect and disease invasions in US forests
TL;DR: The results indicate that forest pest invasions, driven primarily by globalization, represent a huge risk to US forests and have significant impacts on carbon dynamics.
