The objective of this study was to determine if predictive communitylevel allometric relationships between root length, planar area and biomass existed in a coastal barrier island dune ecosystem. Fine root samples were extracted monthly from four dune and swale areas along a chronosequence (6, 24, 36, and 120 years old) on Hog Island, part of the Virginia Coast Reserve-Long Term Ecological Research site. Dominant life forms were rhizomatous perennial grasses on the dunes and in younger swales and shrubs in the older swales. Root planar area in May and August yielded the stronger regression relationships, with winter values exhibiting greater variability. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to examine the heterogeneity of regression slopes among sample dates. Both root length and area models exhibited significantly greater slopes during the course of the growing season. The regression slopes for the oldest dune site displayed no significant differences with season for either length or area. Data from the swales produced stronger predictive relationships than the dunes. These results provide a foundation for indirect root biomass estimates in this system.","PeriodicalId":9453,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/2996084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68402689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Club 122: 101-108. 1995.-The effects of different seedbeds on westem larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.) germination and seedling mortality were assessed in a grand fir/ninebark (Abies grandis ((Dougl. ex. D.Don) Lindl.))/(Physocarpus malvaceus((Greene) Kuntze)) habitat type in northem Idaho, U.S.A. Two plots were established on each of four sites, and 150 westem larch seeds (66% viable) were distributed on each of 16 randomly applied seedbed modification combinations (bumed or mechanical scarified, mineral soil or duff, shaded or non-shaded, caged or non-caged for protection from predation). Germination percentages and seedling development were significantly greater (4-10 times) on caged units than on uncaged units by midJuly. Shading did not significantly affect germination percentage or initial seedling establishment. No significant differences occurred in germination or initial seedling establishment between bumed and unbumed treatments. Mortality of seedlings, most likely caused by a month-long dry period with high temperatures, resulted in no significant differences in seedling numbers among treatments by mid-August the first year after seed dispersal. On the dry end of this species' range, there does not appear to be any difference in seedling survival from seedbed modification.","PeriodicalId":9453,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/2996448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68407500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Club 122: 134-144. 1995.-Vegetative characteristics of twelve Southern Appalachian riparian forests were sampled as part of a larger study which examined functional attributes of riparian zones. Riparian forests were representative of the mixed mesophytic forest, eastern hemlock forest, and transitions between these types. Earlyand mid-successional stages were generally dominated by an overstory of pioneering shade-intolerant species and had an even-aged structure. The diameter distribution of these relatively young stands of mixed species was typically inverse J-shaped. Late-successional and old-growth stages were dominated by shade-tolerant or moderately tolerant overstory species and were uneven-aged. Diameter distribution in these older stands approximated a rotated sigmoid curve. Rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum L.) was the dominant understory species and controlled understory and midstory composition. Characterization of riparian forests in different stages of succession will help understanding of vegetative processes and forms the basis of subsequent ecological studies of riparian functional dynamics.","PeriodicalId":9453,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/2996452","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68407124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
