▼ Loss of forest habitat used for roosting and nocturnal activity by bats is a conservation concern in the southeastern United States. The northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), southeastern myotis (Myotis austroriparius), tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), and northern yellow bat (Lasiurus intermedius) all occur within the Coastal Plain of South Carolina, where their greatest conservation threat is loss of critical roosting and foraging habitats. However, little research has been conducted on these species of conservation concern in this region, leaving gaps in information about habitat associations that would inform conservation and management as forest loss continues due to logging, agriculture, urban development, and intense storm events. To address this concern, we used radio telemetry and acoustic bat detectors to understand habitat associations of these species in southern coastal South Carolina. Our specific objectives were to 1) determine habitat characteristics associated with third order summer roost selection for the northern long-eared bat, tri-colored bat, and northern yellow bat, and 2) determine habitat characteristics associated with summer and winter nocturnal habitat use for Myotis spp., the tri-colored bat, and the northern yellow bat. To understand summer roost selection, we radio-tracked individuals to roost trees May-August 2018 and 2019. We characterized roosts, roost sites, and associated available trees and used discrete choice models to analyze our data. Although we did not capture enough northern long-eared bats for resource selection analysis, we determined that one northern long-eared bat used bark roosts in slash pine (Pinus taeda) and one used basal cavities in water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica). Tri-colored bats and northern yellow bats switched roosts frequently (every 1.3 days). Tri-colored bats used foliage and Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) in hardwood trees and selected hardwood trees with high densities of Spanish moss. Northern yellow bats used dead palm fronds in cabbage palm trees (Sabal palmetto) or Spanish moss in hardwood trees and selected cabbage palm trees and trees with high densities of Spanish moss or dead palm fronds. Our results suggest that conservation of maritime and bottomland forests with trees that have high densities of roost structures would benefit all three species. To investigate nocturnal habitat use we conducted acoustic surveys in summer (May-August) and winter (December-March) 2018 and 2019. We surveyed 125 sites in 5 habitat categories (upland forest, bottomland forest, fields, ponds, and salt marsh) in summer and 121 of these same sites in winter. We used occupancy models to analyze our data and interpreted results as habitat use. Myotis spp. used sites that were closer to hardwood stands and freshwater year-round, and sites closer to pine stands during winter. During summer, tri-colored bats were present at most sites (85%) and use was not dependent on any characteristics we measured, but during winter they… Advisors/Committee Members: David S Jachowski, Susan C Loeb, Catherine B Jachowski.

▼ Restingas (tropical coastal vegetation) are located on the coastal plains, with species from adjacent ecosystems found throughout the Brazilian coast. The coast of Bahia is housed in two geomorphological sectors of the Brazilian coast: the Northeast Coast and the East Coast, with different climatic and geomorphological features. There are few information about the coastal vegetation of Bahia and becomes necessary to study about the composition and structure of vegetation from the coastal area. This study aimed to characterize the structure of the six areas of restingas distributed on the coast of Bahia, located in the towns of Massarandupió, Diogo, Ituberá, Serra Grande, Trancoso and Caravelas, and it is divided into two articles: the first article presents the structure of the vegetation by the quadrant method, to test the hypothesis that the structural composition of vegetation is influenced by the edaphic factors and geomorphological formation. Soil samples were collected to analyze the chemical and physical soil variables. The phytosociological survey resulted in 185 species belonging to 56 families. The areas showed heterogeneity at the structure and composition of the flora, with the majority of individuals with heights ranging from 1.0 to 6.0 m and diameters between 3-13 cm. The family more often founded among the areas was Myrtaceae and the species with the highest VI was Myrcia ramuliflora. The Shannon diversity index (H ) of areas (2.769 nats.ind-1 to 3.553 nats.ind-1) was similar to other restingas from the Northeast especially Trancoso had the highest value (3.553 nats.ind-1.). The CCA analysis showed that species in the areas of restingas from Bahia, are influenced by some soil variables (aluminum, sodium, phosphorus and clay) and the faces of closed forest not flooded and non-flooded open fruticetum allowed defining two groups located in distinct geomorphologies. The second study tested the hypothesis that the restingas from Bahia lack floristic similarity with the other northeastern states due to abiotic and geomorphological factors. Lists of species from phytosociological studies of 16 areas of restingas were compiled six developed in Bahia and 10 studies conducted in other Northeastern states, using the same methodology in obtaining structural data. Was assembled an array of floristic presence/absence with 195 species, to calculate the Jaccard index, grouping and sorting through the Analysis of Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). We used the latitude associated with wealth and diversity of each area to assess a correlation between the restingas along the northeastern coast. The highest wealth level was found in restingas located at south of Bahia, Alagoas and Pernambuco. The restingas of Bahia showed low similarity with the restingas from other northeastern states. There were significant differences in the association of latitude with the values of diversity; and species wealth with latitude between the restingas from Northeast. The areas formed groups with significant differences of similarity, thus… Advisors/Committee Members: Maria de Jesus Nogueira Rodal, Carmen Sílvia Zickel, Margareth Ferreira de Sales.

▼ This thesis investigates the influence of climate change and climatic variability on wetland ecosystems (coastal and inland wetlands) on the Agulhas coastal plain. Firstly, this research examines coastal wetland ecosystem resilience to sea level rise by modelling sea level rise trajectories for the Droё River wetland. The rate of sediment accretion was modelled relative to IPCC sea level rise estimates for multiple RCP scenarios. For each scenario, inundation by neap and spring tide and the 2-, 4- and 8-year recurrence interval water level was modelled over a period of 200 years. When tidal variation is considered, the rate of sediment accretion exceeds rising sea levels associated with climate change, resulting in no major changes in terms of inundation. When sea level rise scenarios were modelled in conjunction with the recurrence interval water levels, flooding of the coastal wetland was much greater than current levels for the 1 in 4 and 1 in 8 year events. The study suggests that for this wetland, variability of flows may be a key factor contributing to wetland resilience. Secondly, the thesis examines the variability of open wetland water surface areas and their relation to rainfall to determine wetland hydrological inputs for the Nuwejaars wetland system and respective wetlands. A remote sensing approach was adopted, Landsat 5 TM and 8 OLI multispectral imagery were used to detect changes of water surfaces for the period 1989 to 2017. Water surfaces were enhanced and extracted using the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index of Xu (2006). The coefficient of variation of wetland water surface area was determined. The variability ranges from low to high for respective wetlands. A correlation analysis of wetland water surfaces and local and catchment rainfall for the preceding 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 24 months was undertaken. The preceding month and associated inputs explains the annual variability of surface waters. The study suggests that, the variability of wetland water surface area are related to variations to water inputs and groundwater, as well as variations in water outputs such as evapotranspiration and an outlet channel.

▼ South Africa has a few unique and understudied areas of interest regarding wetlands, of which the Maputaland Coastal Plain (MCP) is one. This is regarded as a large gap in scientific knowledge, especially since firstly, the MCP is regarded as a unique area in terms of biodiversity, geology, social history, and ecosystem variety; and secondly, wetlands are a vulnerable, and yet a greatly important ecosystem type in South Africa. Additionally the wetlands on the aeolian derived sandy soils associated with the MCP are problematic to delineate. Although the wetland delineation guideline of DWAF (2005) gives a list of criteria to aid the delineation process on sandy coastal aquifers, this has never been scientifically reviewed. The aim of this study was to investigate how vegetation and soil properties vary down the topographical slope in various wetland types on the MCP. This was done in order to contribute to the knowledge base and understanding of wetlands in this area, as well as to determine whether differences between zones are significant enough to be used as indicators of wetland boundaries. Soil colour was investigated as a possible new delineation indicator. A section is also devoted to commentary on the current wetland delineation procedure on the MCP. This study shows that wetland types on the MCP are very distinct from each other, and therefore broad statements about the soil and vegetation characteristics of wetlands are discouraged. Three substrate types namely high organic-, duplex-, and sandy substrates dominate wetlands on the MCP. These play a major influential role in the general characteristics and function of the wetland types. Contrary to popular belief, redoximorphic accumulation and -depletions do occur on the MCP, but are often inconsistent in their presence. Chemical soil properties were found not to be good indicators of wetland boundaries on the MCP, although certain patterns can be discerned and applied to determine wetland conditions. The main drivers of wetland vegetation are the wetness- and productivity gradients. A few prominent indicator species can be used for the identification of wetland and non-wetland sites specifically on the MCP. Additionally, a relatively underutilised vegetation assessment procedure called Weighted Averaging was investigated, and can in most cases effectively discern between wetland and non-wetland conditions. This is a useful tool to apply in delineation practices in addition to other indicators. Soil colour can be used to successfully indicate wetland boundaries, and therefore be used as an additional wetland indicator. However, the method requires further testing and refinement for different wetland types. In general the vegetation and soil indicators do not correlate perfectly, and therefore delineation by means of one indicator only is greatly discouraged. An investigation of recommended delineation procedures for the MCP shows that new information on the understanding of wetlands in sandy coastal aquifers urgently needs to be disseminated.

▼ Alfisols exhibiting strong textural contrasts between sandy A-E horizons (sandy mantle) and clayey Bt horizons on the Gulf Coastal Plain have invoked debate among pedologists, geologists, and archaeologists about parent material uniformity, the age and origin of the sandy mantle, and the scientific value of buried archaeological sites. This dissertation addresses these issues, as well as climate-related variability in the mass-balance of soil constituents, across a 700-mm mean annual precipitation (MAP) gradient. Five Alfisol pedons located on upland summit settings of the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas were sampled, described, and analyzed. Depth trends in clay-free particle-size classes and Ti and Zr failed to reveal lithologic discontinuities in each pedon, suggesting that the A-E and Bt horizons are genetically related and the textural contrasts resulted from pedogenic, rather than depositional, processes. Thus, any buried archaeological materials would have moved down the profile under the influence of bioturbation and gravity. Optical dating of the soil profiles illustrates complex age structures. Mixing in the A-E horizons effects apparent OSL ages <10,000 years due to admixture of recently and partially bleached quartz grains. Decreased mixing occurs within Bt horizons, and ages increase systematically with depth. Pedogenic weathering alters 40K, U and Th content and environmental dose rates, with concomitant changes in OSL ages. Apparent maximum age calculations from the probable oldest equivalent dose group in soil parent materials suggest the soils began weathering at least by 90-112 ka, and 40-62 ka, which greatly precedes human entry into North America. Mass-balance trends revealed nearly 100% weathering losses of Ca, Mg, Na, Al, and Fe from the A-E horizons, with redistributions and variable gains in Bt horizons. Elemental flux is positively correlated with net mass flux of fine clay and MAP, likely due to increased weathering-related concentrations of negatively-charged clay particles in higher-MAP soils, which facilitate cation adorption and retention. This has implications for predicting pedogenic response to global climate change and for estimating important soil properties in Alfisol-like paleosols in the geologic record.

▼ Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations have steadily declined since at least the 1960s. There are numerous factors that contribute to this decline, such as lack of prescribed fire, cleaner farming practices, change in land use, and increased urbanization. These factors have all contributed to the deterioration and fragmentation of bobwhite habitat. Despite the expansive literature at the local level on bobwhite habitat and management, much fewer studies have observed the range-wide decline and its associated factors. Adding to both local and range-wide literature on bobwhites is essential to overturn the range-wide decline. This thesis delves into both a local and a range-wide study of bobwhite populations and their habitat. On a local scale, soils in coastal South Carolina are poorly-drained and provide a unique set of characteristics that can influence understory vegetation components (bare ground, grass, forbs, and shrubs). These poorly-drained soils have been thought to have lower quality bobwhite habitat. I conducted field work to see how poorly-drained soils, time since last burn, and basal area might affect the plant composition of early-successional habitat that is preferred by bobwhites. The only component of the understory that was sensitive to all of these factors was the grass component. Wildlife managers in South Carolina have specifically expressed concern about the amount of grasses on the landscape and we can therefore use soil drainage type, time since last burn, and basal area to guide them in manipulating grass response as necessary. Decreasing timber thinning intensity to yield greater basal areas in a location is one possible way to decrease the grass percentage. Increasing the fire frequency or changing the fire timing away from spring and summer burns can also help decrease grass abundance. The poorly-drained study sites were closer to optimum understory compositions than the well-drained sites. No specific combinations of soil drainage, time since last burn, and basal area generated the perfect 1:1:1 relationship in understory components. Perhaps the plasticity of the understory habitat components needed to support bobwhites is larger than we thought. I also evaluated how time since last fire influenced bobwhite counts across the bobwhite’s range to determine if fire suppression could be a potential driver in the decline of the species. I used 31 years (1984-2015) of fire data from the monitoring trends in burn severity (MTBS) and burned area essential climate variable (BAECV) datasets to compare to breeding bird survey data of bobwhites. I used a geographically weighted regression (GWR) to identify if time since last burn affected bobwhite counts differently depending on location. Recently burned areas (1-3 years since last burn) were found to increase on average across the landscape for 16 consecutive years. An average of 31.2% of these burned areas were on a fire rotation of 1-5 years (burned on average 2 times per 6 years). I found that fire… Advisors/Committee Members: Skip J.

▼ The armoring of river banks with riprap can have detrimental effects on lotic ecosystems due to the subsequent alteration of hydrologic regimes; however, evidence suggests that riprap can also increase aquatic diversity in degraded systems. The goal of my study was to determine what impacts riprapped banks have on fish and macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Pearl River, which has a history of anthropogenic degradation. I collected fishes with an electrofishing boat from armored and natural banks at five regions during fall 2011, winter 2012, and summer 2012. I also collected macroinvertebrates with introduced substrates in fall 2011. Richness was analyzed with rarefaction curves, whereas seasonal abundance and evenness were analyzed with ANOVA, and differences in assemblage structure were assessed with PERMANOVA. Fish and macroinvertebrate richness never varied between bank types. However, fish evenness and abundance were higher at riprapped banks during the summer, and fish assemblage composition varied during base flows in the summer and fall. Macroinvertebrate and assemblage structure also varied between bank types in the fall. My results imply that, at base flows, riprapped banks in the Pearl River support unique aquatic assemblages, possibly due to differences in heterogeneous habitat availability. On August 9, 2011 waste material from a paper mill in Bogalusa, LA was accidentally discharged into the Pearl River, causing anoxic conditions that resulted in complete fish extirpation downstream of the spill’s source. ANOVA indicated that, by October 2011, fish species richness and evenness at sites ~10 km downstream of the spill did not differ from sites in undisturbed areas, although richness and evenness at sites ~40 km downstream were still significantly lower at this time. However, by January, richness and evenness at all disturbed and undisturbed sites were similar. PERMANOVA indicated that, despite similarities in richness and evenness, fish assemblage composition at sites ~10 km downstream of the spill remained significantly different from undisturbed areas until January 2012, while sites ~40 km downstream of the spill were still significantly different by the study’s end in July 2012. These results suggest a gradual recovery, with colonization rates related to the proximity of source populations.

▼ The modern day Mississippi River Delta Plain and the Louisiana Chenier Plain have been greatly altered through anthropogenic changes to course and hydrological conditions of the Mississippi River and local rivers, most notably by levees that have excluded the Mississippi River from the delta plain. This has slowed accretion and increased land loss destroying vast quantities of marsh, endangering many coastal communities. This master’s thesis examined long-term total suspended sediment yield of four Chenier Plain rivers, total suspended sediment yield of the Mississippi River under different flow conditions, and total suspended sediment dynamics of the Atchafalaya River in relation to Atchafalaya River Delta Complex growth and Atchafalaya River Basin sedimentation. Results estimated average annual total suspended sediment yield to coastal Louisiana of 176.3 megatonnes (MT), with the Mississippi River contributing 72% and the Atchafalaya River contributing 28%. The Chenier Plain rivers contributed a negligible amount to this total, averaging annually 342,950 tonnes, with the Sabine contributing 62% to this total (213,100 tonnes), while the Calcasieu River supplied 46,850 tonnes, Mermentau River 40,200 tonnes, and Vermilion River 42,800 tonnes. The hydrograph-based approach for quantification of actual available total suspended sediment of the Mississippi River identified the rising limb of the flood pulse during Action Stage (12.1-14.6 m) and Flood Stage (14.6-16.8 m) maximized total suspended sediment with 28.9 MT supplied. Atchafalaya River Delta Complex growth rate was 2.8 km2 yr-1 (1989-2010). Both Atchafalaya River Morgan City subdelta (ARSD) and Wax Lake Outlet Subdelta (WLSD) growth rates were influenced by large floods that helped maintain positive growth rates, and tropical systems that decreased growth rates over the period. Average annual sedimentation rate in the Atchafalaya River Basin (ARB) was estimated between 30.4-79.1 mm yr-1, while total suspended sediment retention averaged 5.3 MT yr-1 (1996-2010), but interannual variation demonstrates that the ARB has reached an equilibrium and resembles a fluvially dominated system rather than lacustrine or palustrine system. Results from this study provide an exhaustive understanding of riverine sediment availability to coastal Louisiana and the impacts on coastal evolution, providing information that land managers can use to model restoration of coastal Louisiana.

▼ Soils of Pleistocene age in the South Carolina Coastal Plain have experienced liquefaction due to historic and pre-historic earthquakes. Numerous field and laboratory studies have shown that aged soil deposits maintain a greater resistance to liquefaction than younger soil deposits. The currently available methods for assessing liquefaction potential are based on cases in which soils are of Holocene age or younger (< 10,000 yrs). The Pleistocene age soils that were tested and characterized varied in age from about 200,000 years old to 1,400,000 years old. Several sites were investigated using field methods that included the seismic cone penetration test, cone penetration test, standard penetration test, and flat plate dilatometer. Piezometers were installed at the sites. Undisturbed soil samples were retrieved from the subsurface and frozen ex situ to minimize sample disturbance during transportation and laboratory handling. The undisturbed samples were used for cyclic triaxial testing in the laboratory and were tested for shear wave velocity and compression wave velocity using in-cell transducers. Laboratory tests were performed to determine the specific gravity, grain size distribution, moisture content, unit weight, Atterberg limits, Unified Soil Classification, and visual-manual description. Optical petrography and scanning electron microscopy were used to determine the mineral content of the soils, to view grain characteristics, and to view microscopic features that were part of the soil aging process. Laboratory index tests showed that Pleistocene soils consisted predominately of poorly-graded fine sands, silty sands, and clayey sands. Shear wave velocities from the cyclic triaxial test specimens were comparable to the in situ shear wave velocities measured using the seismic cone penetration test. Compression wave velocities from the cyclic triaxial specimens were indicative of a saturated state in the soil prior to cyclic triaxial testing. The optical petrography showed that the dominant mineral in the sands consisted of quartz, which was accompanied by minor amounts of mica, feldspar, and opaque minerals. Scanning electron microscopy indicated the presence of kaolin, showed alteration features on quartz sand surfaces, and also showed the presence of soil fabric in the form of preferred grain orientation. Field testing using the standard penetration test and the cone penetration test indicated that the Pleistocene soils maintain a higher cyclic resistance ratio than the Holocene soils used in the current methods of analysis, however, the soils remain susceptible to liquefaction given expected peak ground accelerations where the cyclic stress ratio exceeds the cyclic resistance ratio. Based on the known ages of the soils, the two methods of analysis using the cone penetration test (Idriss and Boulanger, 2008 and Youd et al., 2001) showed out-of-sequence age versus cyclic resistance ratio for the Idriss and Boulanger method and a properly sequenced age versus cyclic resistance ratio for the Youd… Advisors/Committee Members: Sarah Gassman.

As análises palinológicas constituem uma das ferramentas mais importantes para o estudo de depósitos quaternários, como resultado do excepcional grau de preservação e da relativa abundância dos palinomorfos registrados nos sedimentos e rochas sedimentares, documentando informações regionais e locais a respeito das floras e das condições climáticas passadas. Este trabalho apresenta interpretações dos paleoambientes relacionados à evolução da Lagoa do Sombrio, Planície Costeira Sul do Estado de Santa Catarina, bem a sucessão da vegetacional associada, como reflexos das oscilações do nível do mar. Os dados palinológicos são oriundos de dois testemunhos de sondagem perfurados nas localidades de Santa Rosa do Sul (PCSC-01, 570 cm de profundidade) e São João do Sul (PCSC- 02, 260 cm). Análises complementares foram realizadas, incluindo determinação granulométrica, altimetria, datações radiocarbônicas, reconhecimento de associações fossilíferas calcárias e estudo palinológico de amostras superficiais. Um total de 116 palinomorfos foi reconhecido nos poços, relacionados a esporos e hifas de fungos (21), algas zigmatáceas (5), acritarcos (1), insertae sedis (1), briófitos (2), pteridófitos (15), gimnospermas (2), angiospermas (62), palinoforaminíferos (2), além de outros palinomorfos e fragmentos de invertebrados (5). A análise dos dados apontam três fases paleoambientais distintas. A Fase I - lagunar (7.900 anos AP a 4.200 - 3.800, idades estimadas) representa a influência marinha sob o continente, com posterior rebaixamento do nível do marinho. A Fase II - pântano (3.800 - 2.500 anos AP, idades estimadas) é interpretada como transicional, passando de um ambiente tipicamente lagunar para um pântano salobro, com posterior expansão da floresta. A Fase III- consolidação da floresta (2.500 - presente) representa o desenvolvimento e diversificação da floresta.

Pollen analysis constitutes one of the most important tool for the study of Quaternary deposits, as a result of the exceptional preservation and relative abundance of palynomorphs recorded in sediments and sedimentary rocks, documenting local and regional information about the flora and climatic changes. This paper presents interpretations of paleoenvironments related to the evolution of the Sombrio Lake, southern Coastal Plain of the Santa Catarina state, as well as the associated vegetation succession, as consequence of fluctuations in sea level. Palynological data are derived from two cores drilled in Santa Rosa do Sul (PCSC-01, 570 cm of depth) and São João do Sul (PCSC-02, 260 cm). Complementary analyzes include granulometry determination, altimetry, radiocarbonic datings, recognition of calcareous fossil associations, and study of palynomorphs from surface samples. A total of 116 palynomorphs was recognized, related to spores and hyphae of fungi (21), zignematacean algae (5), acritarchs (1), insertae sedis elements (1), bryophytes (2) and pteridophytes (15) spores, gymnosperms (2) and angiosperms (62) pollen grains, palinoforaminifer linings (2), and other…

A nucleação é uma técnica de restauração florestal na qual se espera que o plantio agregado de mudas aumente o recrutamento e o estabelecimento de espécies, uma vez que o crescimento de algumas plantas pode fornecer melhores condições ambientais para as plantas vizinhas. Porém, o plantio agregado também pode intensificar a competição por nutrientes entre as plantas. Espera-se que o efeito facilitador do núcleo seja maior para espécies não pioneiras, que são mais sensíveis a altas irradiâncias e melhores competidoras por nutrientes. Para espécies pioneiras, tolerantes a altas irradiâncias e piores competidoras, os núcleos devem ser desfavoráveis. A adição de nutrientes pode minimizar a competição e tornar os núcleos mais favoráveis, principalmente às espécies pioneiras. Com o objetivo de avaliar respostas das mudas à nucleação e à adição de nutrientes, foram avaliados a eficiência fotossintética máxima (Fv/Fm) e o conteúdo de pigmentos fotossintéticos. Temperaturas foliares e do solo foram medidas para avaliar o potencial do núcleo em minimizar microclimas extremos. As mudas foram plantadas em parcelas, cada uma com uma combinação de tipo de plantio, em núcleo ou em linha, e tipo de adubo aplicado, com adubo químico (NPK), com terra vegetal ou sem adubação. Os núcleos foram compostos de 13 mudas de espécies diferentes, sendo 5 pioneiras e 8 não pioneiras. As mudas foram separadas entre si por distâncias de aproximadamente 30 cm. Nas linhas as mudas foram plantadas isoladas entre si por 2 m. Mudas plantadas no sistema de nucleação apresentaram melhores condições, com maior Fv/Fm e conteúdo de clorofilas a, b e total (a+b), indicando efeitos de facilitação do núcleo. Menores temperaturas foliares e do solo foram encontradas em núcleos. Tanto plantas de espécies pioneiras quanto não pioneiras apresentaram sinais de fotoinibição, com valores de Fv/Fm abaixo do considerado como livre de estresse, quando plantadas tanto em linhas quanto em núcleos. Os sinais de fotoinibição foram maiores para o grupo de não pioneiras, com menores valores Fv/Fm. Não pioneiras apresentaram menor razão de clorofila a/b, evidenciando seu investimento em absorver maior quantidade de luz. Entretanto, o efeito diferenciado dos núcleos para espécies pioneiras e não pioneiras não foi conclusivo, assim como os efeitos da adição de nutrientes. O presente estudo fornece evidências para o efeito de facilitação em núcleos, agregando mais uma informação aos efeitos benéficos da nucleação, fornecendo subsídios para a recomendação da utilização dessa técnica em restauração. Não foram encontrados indícios que o plantio em núcleos seja prejudicial para pioneiras ou não pioneiras, justificando, dessa forma, o plantio de núcleos mistos

▼ O conhecimento do relevo, geologia, cronologia e dos solos nos ambientes costeiros, constitui importante elemento para a interpretação, reconstituição e conservação dos mesmos. Em Bertioga-SP, alguns setores das unidades morfoestratigráficas pleistocênicas e holocênicas, que formam as planícies do litoral paulista, encontram-se preservados na paisagem. A busca pela compreensão da relação entre os solos, o relevo, a natureza e a cronologia dos sedimentos costeiros, acrescida do interesse em estudar os Espodossolos desenvolvidos sobre esses sedimentos direcionaram os objetivos deste trabalho. Para tanto, identificou-se e caracterizou-se os solos e os sedimentos sobre os quais eles se desenvolveram. A fotointerpretação, os trabalhos de campo, as análises químicas, geocronológicas (datações por TL, LOE e 14C) e a granulometria dos solos/sedimentos auxiliaram na identificação, delimitação espacial, bem como o desenvolvimento de teorias sobre a evolução dos solos sobre os depósitos sedimentares. Depósitos continentais, fluviais e marinhos foram identificados. Também foi registrada a influência das formas de relevo e da profundidade do lençol dágua na dinâmica evolutiva e distribuição espacial dos solos em cada unidade geomorfológica. Os Espodossolos, Neossolos, Organossolos, Gleissolos e Cambissolos foram as principais Ordens de solos identificadas. As diferenças topográficas, geomorfológicas e geológicas dos ambientes condicionam a quantidade de água, a fisionomia da vegetação e o conteúdo matéria orgânica nas seis principais unidades geomorfológicas identificadas na planície costeira: (a) depressões fluviolagunares caracterizadas por sedimentos orgânico-pelítico-psamíticos e Organossolos e Gleissolos; (b) terraços marinhos arenosos com predomínio de Espodossolos com ou sem horizontes cimentados (ortstein) e horizontes plácicos; (c) cristas praiais arenosas com Neossolos Quartzarênicos e Espodossolos destituídos de horizontes cimentados (ortstein); (d) rampas de colúvio, psamíticas, com Cambissolos; (e) planície fluvial de granulometria variada com Gleissolos e Neossolos Flúvicos e (f) planícies de maré, psamíticas e pelíticas, onde predominam os Organossolos e Gleissolos. Além dessas unidades, as praias recentes e os setores dominados pelos depósitos continentais colúvio-aluviais indiferenciados também foram abordados como unidades geomorfológicas individuais. A topografia das unidades geomorfológicas de origem marinha, além de indicar a cronologia dos depósitos, influencia no desenvolvimento de diferentes classes de Espodossolos. Os atributos físico-químicos e morfológicos dos Espodossolos podem auxiliar na diferenciação cronológica dos depósitos quaternários mais recentes (holocênicos). A área de ocorrência dos terraços marinhos pleistocênicos é mais extensa do que aquelas registradas nos documentos cartográficos existentes. Nos setores bem drenados dos remanescentes de terraços marinhos pleistocênicos altos, a influência das condições de relevo na pedogênese se reflete na formação dos Neossolos Quartzarênicos (RQ) a… Advisors/Committee Members: Torrado, Pablo Vidal.

Análises palinológicas de depósitos quaternários utilizadas para elucidar questões paleoclimáticas, paleovegetacionais e paleoambientais, devido ao elevado potencial de preservação dos palinomorfos e à ampla variedade de hábitos e habitats nos quais eles são distribuídos. Neste contexto, este trabalho apresenta uma reconstrução paleoambiental a partir de análises palinológicas de um testemunho sedimentar com idade holocênica, perfurado na Planície Costeira de Santa Catarina, município de Garopaba, sul do Brasil. Um total de 46 amostras foi coletado ao longo dos 450 cm do testemunho (poço PCSC-3). Além disso, três datações radiocarbônicas e análises granulométricas foram realizadas. Das 46 amostras, três delas apresentaram-se escassas para as análises palinológicas e foram descartadas para as interpretações paleoambientais. Os diagramas palinológicos e a análise de agrupamento foram considerados a partir da soma total de palinomorfos (100%) O conteúdo palinológico inclui 84 táxons identificados: grãos de pólen de angiospermas (46) e gimnospermas (3), esporos de pteridófitas (16) e briófitas (2), esporos de fungos (8), cistos de algas (3), acritarcos (3), cistos de dinoflagelados (2) e palinoforaminíferos (1). Três espécimes de acritarcos são descritos e ilustrados devido à sua importância paleoambiental. A partir da análise de agrupamento, três fases palinológicas foram definidas baseadas nas mudanças nas assembleias palinológicas: Fase I, Fase II e Fase III. A Fase I é caracterizada por um paleoambiente lagunar com influência marinha desde o início de sua sedimentação (5390 anos AP), com base em ocorrências de acritarcos, cistos dinoflagelados e palinoforaminíferos. A Fase II, de 3032 anos AP até 858 anos AP, também é caracterizada por um paleoambiente lagunar; no entanto a diminuição da porcentagem de elementos marinhos e o aumento do registro de algas de água doce (Botryococcus) sugerem menor influência marinha dentro do corpo lagunar, indicando uma fase transicional entre a Fase I e Fase III. Na Fase III (últimos 856 anos) prevalece a sedimentação subaquosa, sob condições pantanosas.

Palynological analyses of Quaternary deposits are used in order to elucidate paleoclimatic, paleogeographic and paleoenvironmental issues, due to the high potential of palynomorph preservation and the wide variety of habits and habitats in which they are distributed. In this context, this study presents a paleoenvironmental reconstruction from palynological analyses of a sedimentary core of Holocene age (PCSC-3 well), drilled at the Santa Catarina Coastal Plain, municipality of Garopaba, southern Brazil. A total of 46 samples was collected for palynological analyses in the 450 cm-long core, as also three samples for radiocarbon dating and granulometric analyses. Of the 46 samples, three of them revealed scarce for palynological analysis, which were discarded for paleoenvironmental interpretations. Palynological diagrams and a clustering analysis were calculated considering the total sum of palynomorphs (100%) The palynological…

▼ There is no historical analog for the concentrations of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere – to find one, we must turn to the geologic record. The mid-Pliocene (~3 Ma) is the last interval when pCO2 matched today’s value of 400 ppm. As our climate moves back to a more Pliocene-like state, studying the Pliocene allows us to forecast potential changes in Earth systems. We use Pliocene to modern mollusks to understand how climate change affected ecosystems in three ways: the biogeography of species and genera, the taxonomic and functional patterns of the extinction, and the evolutionary consequences of extinction and range restriction. Using these, we hope to predict large scale patterns of biotic change as climate warms. We compiled a dataset of fossil and modern species and genera from the literature to reconstruct biogeography from the Pliocene to modern. We found that a prominent feature of modern biogeography, the biogeographic boundary near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, was established in the Pleistocene in response to the deflection of the Gulf Stream Current near Cape Hatteras. This caused a sharp temperature break, leading to the exclusion of southern-affiliated taxa north of Cape Hatteras. We also collected a new dataset of mollusks from Plio-Pleistocene sites north of Cape Hatteras to assess the taxonomic and functional patterns of extinction. We found that while species turnover is large across the Plio-Pleistocene, functional communities remain similar across the extinction. This contrasts with the Plio-Pleistocene transition in the Caribbean, where major functional changes occurred. This is likely because habitats north of Cape Hatteras did not change greatly after the Pliocene, suggesting that large functional changes would occur if there was a shift in habitats. Lastly, we used molecular and morphological data to create a phylogeny of extinct and extant members of the bivalve family Luciniade. Our results showed that more lucinid phylogenetic diversity was lost in communities north of Florida, which is important because high values of phylogenetic diversity are associated with ecosystem stability. We also showed that the lucinids were range restricted after the Pliocene, and would be expected to expand north when climate warms.

▼ Weak biotic responses to habitat gradients within Northern Gulf of Mexico streams have been attributed to spatial and temporal variability. Landscape and in-stream habitat descriptions are presented for watersheds within Pleistocene terraces of the Coastal Plains geomorphic province of Louisiana, USA. Geologic influences on stream habitat were inferred by comparing multivariate ordinations on physicochemical measurements between terraces. Seasonal variability was assessed during a drought year (2011) and a typical water year (2013). Within coastal plains of Louisiana, stream condition was more similar within terraces than within river basins. Permutational MANOVA models indicated significantly different stream habitat between Uplands and Prairie, with intermediate habitat in Flatwoods. Seasonal differences were detected more frequently during normal flow condition, suggesting that baseflow impacts habitat heterogeneity between adjacent terraces. Macroinvertebrates were collected throughout a drought year at stream sites stratified among coastal plain terraces to quantify spatial and temporal variability and identify functional habitat gradients. Macroinvertebrate assemblages differed between Uplands and Prairie terraces, especially regarding insect taxa, which were associated with better water quality and structurally complex habitat. Drought and other disturbances selected against lotic taxa expected in the intermediate Flatwoods terrace. Widening the lateral scope of the study landscape helped identify habitat thresholds and define regional habitat preference of individual taxa. Aquatic habitat improvement in Prairie terrace bayous should include restoring baseflow, increasing structural complexity and protecting macroinvertebrate source populations in the Uplands. Aquatic insect larvae are important bio-indicators and flexible life histories of many taxa may reflect regional or seasonal variability in environmental conditions. Larval development and reproductive strategy inferred from seasonal size distributions are presented for specimens of Caenis sp. (Ephemeroptera: Caenidae) in the coastal plain terraces of Louisiana. Influence of regional drought, landscape features and water quality on growth rate, terminal size and voltinism are examined. Caenis sp. in subtropical Louisiana exhibited bivoltine emergences in November and July. Size at instar development class did not differ by terrace, but was influenced by local water quality (e.g., orthophosphate concentration, specific conductance and biochemical oxygen demand). Maintenance of baseflow during drought enhanced abundance of Caenis larvae in streams with chronic disturbance from agriculture.

▼ The aim of my dissertation was to elucidate how environmental changes have influenced evolutionary and distributional patterns in the near-shore molluscan fauna of the Atlantic Coastal Plain (southeastern U.S.) over the past three million years. Disentangling the long-term evolutionary responses of species to environmental change is important for understanding the mechanisms controlling evolutionary processes and for assessing how current and future climate changes will impact Earth's biodiversity. My dissertation was comprised of three chapters that integrated both paleontological and neontological data to study the molluscan record of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The first study in my dissertation focused on 14 extant marine mollusk species and their potential responses to future climate changes over the next ~100 years. Two hypotheses were tested: that suitable areas will shift northwards for these species, and that they will show varied responses to future climate change based on species-specific niche attributes. I found that species were not predicted to shift pole-ward, but rather showed varied responses to future warming. Many of the studied species will be hard hit by future climate changes, such that over 20% of their suitable area will disappear by the end of this century. The second study statistically analyzed whether the niches of mollusk species remained stable across three million years of profound environmental changes. Prior to this research, the long-term evolutionary dynamics of species' niches to differing climatic regimes remained uncertain, even though the question is vital to understanding the fate of biodiversity in a rapidly changing world. I found that species' tolerances were statistically similar from the Pliocene to the present-day, which suggest that species will respond to current and future warming by altering distributions to track suitable habitat, or, if the pace of change is too rapid, by going extinct. The last study tested whether niche breadth and/or geographic range size was a better predictor of extinction selectivity for mollusk species from the Pliocene. I hypothesized that species that went extinct post Pliocene would have smaller geographic ranges and smaller niche breadths compared with those species that are still extant. I found that only realized niche breadth (i.e., the breadth of the environment actually occupied by a species) and geographic range size, rather than fundamental niche breadth, are inversely related to extinction probability. This finding has implications for assessing which species are more at risk as a consequence of current and future climate changes, and helps to sharpen our understanding of which macroevolutionary processes shape patterns of diversity over evolutionary time scales. Together, these studies indicated that abiotic, environmental factors play a fundamental role in governing species' distributions in deep time. More specifically, species did not seem to rapidly evolve in response to new environmental conditions, but tracked preferred… Advisors/Committee Members: Lieberman, Bruce S.
