Measuring the Effects of Freezing Injury on Red Spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) Needles

Problem Addressed: Freezing foliage leading to a decline of Red spruce in northeastern North America
Goal(s)/Objective(s): The effect of thawing rate on freezing injury, relation of mass exchange and chlorophyll loss to electrolyte leakage, and Rhizosphaera kalkhoffii Bubák interacts with freeze-injured needles.
Key Findings: Photosynthesis most sensitive measure, Faster thaw rates increase damage.

Avian Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and the Core-Satellite Species Hypothesis

Problem Addressed: Avian abundance and distribution patterns for New England using data from the U.S.G.S. Biological Resources Division's Breeding Bird Survey (BBS).
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Test predictions of Hanski's core-satellite hypothesis, Brown's ecological specialization hypothesis and Wright's sampling hypothesis to determine which best explained the observed patterns in the three distinct avifaunal regions within New England.
Key Findings: Classification and regression tree analyses indicated no correlation between the spatial exponents and natural history correlates; only 15-25% of the mean deviance of the temporal exponents was explained by life history correlates.
