International demand for wood and other forest products continues to grow rapidly, uncertainties remain about how animal communities will respond intensifying resource extraction associated with woody bioenergy production. We examined changes in alpha beta diversity of bats, bees, birds, reptiles across production landscapes the southeastern United States, a biodiversity hotspot that is one principal sources biomass globally. sampled spatial gradient paired land-uses (representing pre...
Abstract Concerns over energy demands and climate change have led the United States to set ambitious targets for bioenergy production in coming decades. The southeastern has had a recent increase biomass woody pellet is projected produce large portion of nation's cellulosic biofuels. We conducted large‐scale, systematic comparison potential impacts two types feedstocks – corn ( Zea mays ) pine Pinus spp.) on bird communities across States. In addition, we evaluated three alternatives from...
Abstract Cultivation of bioenergy feedstocks is a growing land‐use world‐wide, yet we have poor understanding how crop management practices affect biodiversity. This knowledge gap particularly acute for candidate cellulosic feedstocks, such as tree plantations, and organisms that provide important ecosystem services, pollinators. We examined bee communities in 83 sites across three states the southeastern United States—Alabama, Florida Georgia. compared abundance diversity 66 pine plantation...
We compared the invertebrate component of diet breeding and nonbreeding northern Crested Caracaras (Caracara cheriway) during season, January through April, in Florida, using pellet analysis. Pellets from adults were collected at active nests pellets caracaras beneath a communal roost. During consumed prey minimum 61 genera total 33 families eight orders. Nonbreeding greater numbers invertebrates, more different types, diversity invertebrates than did caracaras. contained per pellet, carrion...
Human demand for food, fiber, and space is accelerating the rate of change land cover use. Much world now consists a matrix natural forests, managed agricultural cropland, urbanized plots. Expansion domestic energy production efforts in United States one driver predicted to influence future land-use management practices across large spatial scales. Favorable growing conditions make southeastern an ideal location producing portion country's renewable bioenergy. We investigated patterns bat...
