Abstract:
- We use historical records and dendroecological
- methods to characterize establishment and growth of
- Fagus grandifolia, Quercus alba, and Quercus velutina in
- response to seven non-catastrophic hurricanes of varying
- intensity, and a major logging event, relative to baseline
- conditions, over the past 150 years. Our aim was to
- document variation in the magnitude of responses to
- known disturbance events of varying intensity, and to
- determine whether tree growth after moderate hurricanes
- differs from growth during periods of no disturbance.
