Disturbance and Vegetation Response in Relation to Environmental Gradients in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Harmon ME, Bratton SP, White PS. 1985. Disturbance and Vegetation Response in Relation to Environmental Gradients in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Vegetation 55 (Printed in the Netherlands, by Dr W Junk Publishers). :147-157
By using fires and exotic species disturbances, the authors state that disturbance parameters vary along topographic, elevation, and moisture gradients. Species composition is partially determined by disturbance parameters, as are modes of reproduction and ecosystem response.
