SUMMARY:SFWS Seminar Series - David Coyle
DESCRIPTION:David Coyle\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation\, Clemson University\n“The times\, they are a-changin’: southern forest health extension in the age of social media.” \nSeminar is held at 11 a.m. in Conference Room 1101 in the SFWS Building\, 602 Duncan Drive\, Auburn\, AL. \n\nFaculty\, students and the public are invited to attend this free program.\nComplimentary cookies and coffee will be served.\nCFEs are available by request.\nAdvanced registration is not required.\nParking is available on the 3rd and 4th floors of the South Quad parking deck on Duncan Drive\, directly across from the SFWS Building. See Parking Services on Level 2 to obtain a visitor pass.\n\nAbstract:  The life of an extension professor truly is an exercise in flexibility. As southern forest health is threatened by native and invasive insects\, fungi\, and plants\, as well as improper management and climatic issues\, there is a seemingly endless list of things one has to know. The role of the extension professor is to provide education to landowners\, land managers\, and professionals. Each of these groups requires a different delivery and outputs\, yet each of these groups still needs accurate information and effective management strategies. Not surprisingly\, social media use is growing in its popularity and effectiveness – but remains just one tool in the extension toolbox. This seminar will discuss the major forest health issues facing the southeastern region today\, and will also touch on different methods used by extension professionals to communicate with stakeholders. \nBiography:  Dr. David Coyle is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation at Clemson University. His Extension Forestry program focuses on forest health and invasive species management in forest types across the Southeast. Prior to Clemson\, Dave ran the Southern Regional Extension Forestry – Forest Health and Invasive Species program\, which provided hands-on training\, electronic resources\, and other services pertaining to management of native and invasive forest insects\, plants\, and diseases to forestry professionals throughout the southeastern U.S. Dave grew up on a farm in Harmony\, MN and completed his B.A. in Biology at Luther College. He then moved to Ames where he finished his M.S. in Entomology and Forestry at Iowa State University\, followed by a move to South Carolina where he worked as a technician for the USDA Forest Service – Southern Research Station Center for Bottomland Hardwoods Research. He completed his PhD in Entomology at the University of Wisconsin and a postdoc at the University of Georgia’s Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. At UGA\, Dave spent several years working on various forest health issues in the Southeast\, covering both hardwood and conifer systems. Dave has extensive experience with southern forest pests\, silviculture\, management\, and woody biomass systems. He serves on the Board of Directors and is President-Elect for the North American Invasive Species Management Association\, is on the Advisory Committee for the Southern IPM Center\, and is Co-Director for the ProForest group at the University of Florida. You can find Dave’s forest health outreach work at http://southernforesthealth.net/\, or find him on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/southernforesthealth/)\, Twitter (@drdavecoyle)\, or Instagram (drdavecoyle) where he regularly posts about invasive forest pests\, silviculture\, and forestry in general.

SUMMARY:M.S. Forestry Seminar: Shrijana Duwadi
DESCRIPTION:M.S. Forestry Seminar: Shrijana Duwadi\, Maj. Prof. Dr. Lori Eckhardt \nTitle: Impact of Tree Inoculation by Leptographium terebrantis on Soil Microbial Communities in Commercial Loblolly Pine Stand \nLocation: Dixon Conference Room \nDate: Friday\, March 29\, 2019 \nTime: 2 p.m. \nAbstract: \nA variety of abiotic and biotic stressors\, including root-feeding bark beetles and\, pathogenic ophiostomatoid fungi are associated with the root disease of Pinus spp. Our research goal was to analyze if a tree inoculation by ophiostomatoid fungus\, Leptographium terebrantis affects soil microbial biomass\, new root growth and ectomycorrhizal colonization of fine roots in a commercial loblolly pine stand in Eufaula\, Alabama. The study design included three replicates of five treatment levels. We also studied soil physiochemical compositions and foliar nutrients before the treatment. \nThe treatment effect on microbial biomass and the ectomycorrhizal colonization of fine roots were insignificant. Seasonal variation in microbial biomass and soil C: N ratio was evident\, both before and after the inoculation treatment. Microbial biomass responds positively to soil moisture and soil organic matters. The treatment effect on new root growth was insignificant until December 2018. A difference in new root growth among treatments was observed in February 2019. In 2017 and 2018\, new root growth was rapid in the spring and summer\, while it declined in the fall. Maximum fine roots during the two-year study period were observed at 28.3 cm depth. Fine root growth was not significant for the treatment and control pairs within the treatment plots. Ectomycorrhizal colonization varied by depth and was highest in 20-30 cm soil profile. It appears that ectomycorrhizae in loblolly pine stand thrive in acidic soil. \nTotal soil N\, total S\, available Mg\, and pH were significantly different among treatments before the inoculation. Excluding available Cu and Al\, soil properties were significantly different among soil profiles. Except for foliar Mn\, pre-inoculation foliar nutrients were not significantly different among treatments. \nOur study has allowed us to understand the response of soil biological properties to loblolly pine infection with L. terebrantis as well as the importance of soil moisture\, soil organic matters and balanced soil pH for overall stand health.
