Urban tree pests can support biological control services in landscape shrubs
Scale insects are common tree pests in urban ecosystems. Although severe scale infestations can worsen tree condition, trees can tolerate moderate...

Scale insects contribute to spider conservation in urban trees and shrubs
Urbanization filters arthropod communities and selects for species tolerant of urban conditions. Spiders are key generalist predators in urban...

Increasing Hydroperiod in a Karst-depression Wetland Based on 165 Years of Simulated Daily Water Levels
The hydrology of seasonally inundated depression wetlands can be highly sensitive to climatic fluctuations. Hydroperiod—the number of days per year...

Fire in Floodplain Forests of the Southeastern USA
Nowadays forest fires are so rare in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley and other floodplains of the southeastern USA that these floodplains appear...

Tidal Wetland Community Response to Varying Levels of Flooding by Saline Water
A long-term data base (2000–2009) was used to evaluate tidal floodwater salinity and the resulting soil biogeochemical setting (methanogenic or...
