Western Range Boundaries Of Floodplain Trees in the Southeastern United States
Forest vegetation in the southeastern United States extends westward beyond the Ozark and Ouachita plateaus in Arkansas and Missouri into the Central Plains. Along this transect, luxuriant forests give way to mixed forests and grasslands that include smaller trees and progressively fewer tree species and eventually to grassland‐dominated landscapes in central Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. This transition is directly related to decreasing precipita…

The Fall Line: A Physiographic-Forest Vegetation Boundary
The range boundaries for many tree species in the southeastern United States correspond to the Fall Line that separates the Coastal Plain from the Appalachian Highlands. Trees in the Coastal Plain with northern range boundaries corresponding to the Fall Line occur exclusively in alluvial valleys created by lateral channel migration. These species grow mostly on lower bottomland sites characterized by a high water table, soils that are often satur…

Stream Channelization and Changing Vegetation Patterns in the U. S. Coastal Plain
The southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain contains high-density stream networks and the largest area of alluvial wetlands in North America. Among the most common flood-control methods in this region is stream channelization. Its purpose is to increase channel capacity and flow velocity so that water moves more efficiently downstream and thereby reduces flooding. Channelization typically includes deepening and widening the stream channel and shortening …
The Bioclimates of the Colorado Front Range
This paper delineates bioclimatic zones of the Colorado Front Range. It develops a methodology which might be useful for making inventories of mountain bioclimates in other parts of the world. Following a description of the vegetation and the climate of the Front Range some insight is gained into the bioclimatic systems of the area by examining the applicability of established cli- matic classifications. The main part of the paper explains proced…
