Survey of Family Forest Owners Regarding Invasive Insects in the Connecticut River Watershed 2017
Forest insects have significant direct impacts on forest ecosystems; they are also generating new risks, uncertainties, and opportunities for forest landowners. Our research objective is to understand: (1) whether and how insect infestations are shifting land-use regimes in New England by altering human decision-making, (2) how these changes to human decisions may affect regional forest ecosystems and the provisioning of select ecosystem services, and (3) how subsequent changes to forest ecosystems, in turn, affect landowners. The dataset is a result of gathering information from a random sample of family forest owners (FFOs) in the Connecticut River Watershed; FFOs own approximately half of the private forestland in the region. We collected information on characteristics and perceptions of these FFOs as well as their intentions for their land if faced with the presence or threat of invasive forest insects. To better understand FFO intentions, contingent behavior questions populate the conjoint analysis format of the questionnaire. These are the foundational data that form our further efforts to simulate the impacts of insect dynamics and landowner behavior on regional forest ecosystems, including forest carbon stores, forest structure and composition, and timber yields. One of our overarching hypotheses is that forest land-use change in response to insects will have greater near-term ecological consequences than climate change or insects by themselves.
Aquatic and terrestrial insect activity phenology with trap collections at the Andrews Experimental Forest, 2009-2014
This study was designed to evaluate the influence of microclimatic heterogeneity, associated with complex terrain, on phenology and to evaluate potential trophic responses to scenarios of climate change, disturbance and land use. We focus on a simplified model trophic system involving vascular plants, terrestrial and aquatic insects, and migratory neotropical and resident birds. The model trophic system is interesting because the phenologies of different components in the model system are independent (cued by various abiotic drivers) and dependent (due to trophic interactions), potentially leading to complex system behaviors. Plant and poiklothermic animal (ex. invertebrates) phenologies are highly temperature dependent. Phenologies of terrestrial plants and invertebrates would therefore likely exhibit wide spatial and temporal variation across the landscape in response to temperature variation associated with elevational differences, cold air drainages patterns, and temperature inversions. Aquatic invertebrate phenologies are also tied to temperature, but stream temperatures are influenced by different factors than those driving air temperatures and they may be less sensitive to complex terrain. For the invertebrate part of this study, we are examining spring-time (April through June) flying (terrestrial and adult aquatic) insect activity and adult aquatic insect emergence across a range of sites in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest. Flying insect activity will be assessed using malaise traps deployed at 16 sites ranging from 450m to over 1300m in elevation, and with a variety of forest stand ages and slope aspects. Emerging aquatic insects will be collected with emergence traps in six 1st to 2nd order streams ranging from 450m to 1000m in elevation, and differing in water source (spring vs run-off) and surrounding forest age. Insects from malaise traps will be identified to varying levels from order to genus, depending on the group and available keys. Adult aquat
Aquatic Insect Adult Metals Dataset: Urban and Forested Watersheds in the Piedmont of NC - 2021-2022
This dataset reports concentrations of 6 target trace metals (copper, zinc, nickel, lead, chromium, and selenium) in unfiltered water, emergent aquatic adult insects (by family), biofilm mats (predominately algae), and tree roots submerged under stream water. Biological and water samples were collected from three streams in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, USA: a wastewater dominated site (Ellerbe Creek, near the USGS gage at Glen Road ), a stormwater dominated site (Ellerbe Creek, near the USGS gage on Club Blvd), and a stream draining a predominately forested watershed (New Hope Creek, near a StreamPULSE site at Hollow Rock Preserve). This data was submitted for publication in a manuscript that explores how metals are transported by aquatic emergent insects from stream ecosystems into terrestrial food webs.
Invertebrates of the Andrews Experimental Forest: An annotated list of insects and other arthropods, 1971 to 2002
This publication is not a pro forma species list; rather, it has been generated as the result of diverse ecological studies centered on and around the Andrews Forest beginning in 1971. No attempt has been made to exhaustively collect the area with methodologies appropriate to each invertebrate group. This list provides some insight into the enormous invertebrate diversity present in the coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. It provides reference material for investigators who might be engaged in ecological investigations. We hope that these data, set in an ecological context, will stimulate collaboration and facilitate the design of future research.
Aquatic insect sampling in Lookout Creek at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, 2001
The database contains data from samples collected during the summer of 2001 on aquatic macroinvertebrates along Lookout Creek. Three data tables comprise the database. The two larger tables contain the taxonomic composition and abundances from samples collected using small (0.25m2 ) emergence traps and pan traps (0.19m2). Taxonomic resolution differs by order; for some taxa we identified individuals to family, genus, and species, some to family and genus, and others to family only. A third small data table is a complete list of taxa from the three orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera.
