Probable Causes for Willow Post Mortality
Publication: Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration
Abstract
Described is a field pilot study wherein environmental data and biological response were measured for 13 posts along Harland Creek, Mississippi in July–October, 1996. Highest levels of mean net photosynthesis were associated with posts planted at moderate elevations in silty sands. Photosynthetic activity was lower for posts in sands and gravels at higher elevations and for those in sandy gravel at very low elevations. Biomass for posts planted at moderate elevations was sensitive to soil texture: aboveground and root biomass from posts in silty sand were about six times greater than from posts in slightly more cohesive soils.
