Traditional counting of tree rings between fire scars to establish a fire history is examined for
a better understanding of factors influencing fire scar formation and wound healing. The …

Two-year growth and mortality rates were analyzed for 254 black locust, 199 southern
magnolia and 27 London plane trees planted along a major boulevard extending from southern …

Factors influencing seedling establishment and survival were studied on gravel bars of lower
Dry Creek, Sonoma Co., California. Gravel bar species became established from May to …

The temporal availability of propagules is a critical factor in sustaining pioneer riparian tree
populations along snowmelt-driven rivers because seedling establishment is strongly linked …

Street trees have aesthetic, environmental, human health, and economic benefits in urban
ecosystems. Street tree populations are constructed by cycles of planting, growth, death, …

Urban forests can provide ecosystem services that motivate tree planting campaigns, and
tree survival is a key element of program success and projected benefits. We studied survival …

The limited tree diversity in urban areas increases the likelihood of mass mortality from
outbreaks of insects and disease. Although information is available on pest susceptibility of …

Bees are important flower-visiting insects that display differential occurrences at food resources
throughout urban and wildland landscapes. This study examined the visitation rates and …

Seasonal water limitation exerts a strong ecological filter on stream communities in semiarid
regions. For first‐year riparian willow and poplar tree seedlings, desiccation from rapidly …

Willows are important riparian colonizers. However, the predominant models of early
riparian colonization, which emphasize seedling recruitment, are inadequate to explain the …
