A Subcontinental Analysis of Forest Fragmentation Effects on Insect and Disease Invasion

Forests, 9(12), 744.

By: Q. Guo *, K. Riitters* & K. Potter n 

Contributors: Q. Guo *, K. Riitters* & K. Potter n 

author keywords: cross-trophic; edge effects; edge type; landscape matrix; management; neighbor effects; nonnative species; scale
TL;DR: Using national survey data on forest pest richness and fragmentation data across United States forest ecosystems, this work examines how forest fragmentation and edge types (neighboring land cover) may affect pest richness at the county level. (via Semantic Scholar)

Exposure of Protected and Unprotected Forest to Plant Invasions in the Eastern United States

Forests, 9(11), 723.

By: K. Riitters*, K. Potter n , B. Iannone *, C. Oswalt*, Q. Guo * & S. Fei *

Contributors: K. Riitters*, K. Potter n , B. Iannone *, C. Oswalt*, Q. Guo * & S. Fei *

author keywords: exposure; invasive species; forest; protected area; invasibility
TL;DR: A macroscale assessment of the exposure of protected and unprotected forests to harmful invasive plants in the eastern United States shows any protection is better than none, and public ownership alone is as effective as some types of formal protection. (via Semantic Scholar)

A preliminary assessment of the Montreal process indicators of air pollution for the United States

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT, 95(1-3), 57–74.

By: J. Coulston*, K. Riitters* & G. Smith*

author keywords: acid deposition; forest health and vitality; multivariate clustering; ozone biomonitoring; spatial analysis; sustainable forests; tropospheric ozone
MeSH headings : Acid Rain; Air Pollutants / analysis; Canada; Cluster Analysis; Environmental Health; Environmental Monitoring / methods; Multivariate Analysis; Nitrates / analysis; Ozone / analysis; Quaternary Ammonium Compounds / analysis; Sulfates / analysis; Trees; United States
TL;DR: The multivariate analysis showed that the oak-hickory and loblolly-shortleaf pine forest types were generally exposed to more air pollution than other forest types, and the redwood, western white pine, and larch forest types weren't exposed to less and offered a new approach to national air pollution assessments.

A preliminary assessment of Montreal Process indicators of forest fragmentation for the United States

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT, 91(1-3), 257–276.

By: K. Riitters*, J. Wickham & J. Coulston*

author keywords: fragmentation; land cover; Montreal Process; national assessment; spatial pattern
MeSH headings : Conservation of Natural Resources; Data Collection; Environmental Monitoring; Forestry; Statistics as Topic; Trees; United States
TL;DR: Four metrics of forest fragmentation – patch size, edge amount, inter-patch distance, and patch contrast – were measured within 137 744 non-overlapping 5625 ha analysis units on land-cover maps derived from satellite imagery for the 48 conterminous States. (via Semantic Scholar)
