Disturbance History and Ecological Change in the Southern Appalachian Landscape: Western Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 1936-1996
Harrod J. 1999. Disturbance History and Ecological Change in the Southern Appalachian Landscape: Western Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 1936-1996. University of North Carolina
The author examined change in disturbance regime on vegetation patterns from 1936-37, 1977-79, and 1995-96. He asked: have variables in landscape-level vegetation remained constant over time; what changes in vegetation have occurred within sites with similar environments and disturbance histories; and have distributions of species along major environmental gradients changed through time?
