Longleaf pine characteristics associated with arthropods available for red-cockaded woodpeckers

Article Abstract:

It appears that herbaceous understory conditions, site quality and overstory tree densities can vary substantially without having an impact on arthropod biomass. This research, undertaken on the Escambia Experimental Forest in Escambia County, AL, and the northwestern part of the Blackwater State Forest in Santa Rosa County, FL, focused on the impact of stand characteristics such as site quality on arthropod abundance and biomass on the boles of longleaf pine trees. It was established that bark thickness is probably a more significant characteristic than tree age in determining arthropod abundance on tree boles.

Breeding bird response to pine-grassland community restoration for red-cockaded woodpeckers

Article Abstract:

Proposals have been drawn up to increase fire-dependent pine-grassland communities in the southeastern US through prescribed fires and wildlife stand improvement to promote the breeding of endangered birds such as the red-cockaded woodpecker. To test the viability of the proposals, a comparison of the avian species frequency of occurrence and abundance in both treated and untreated pine-hardwood stands was conducted. Results showed a significant increase in avian frequency and abundance in treated areas.
