| Maintaining the Integrity of the Low-Elevation Granitic-Dome Communities of Carl Sandburg National Historic Site |
2010 |
2609 |
A vegetational survey was conducted for the granitic rock-outcrop communities at Carl Sandburg National Historic Site (CARL). Low-elevation granitic domes within the boundaries of CARL have been recognized as a critical resource within the Park (Har... |
| Nitrogen Availability and Vegetational Community Structure on a Cliff System in the Southern Appalachians |
2015 |
1016 |
While research in almost every ecosystem confirms the importance of nutrient cycling to community dynamics, it has been an under-investigated aspect of cliff ecology. This study explores the influence that nitrogen availability and other abiotic var... |
| A Vegetational Characterization Of Cliff Faces In The Linville Gorge Wilderness Area |
1998 |
329 |
Throughout North America few ecosystems have escaped disturbance associated with the rapid expansion of humans. Cliff-face ecosystems are largely undisturbed and some represent ancient pre-settlement forests. However, even these habitats are now bein... |
| Characterization Of Plant Community Structure And Abiotic Conditions On Climbed And Unclimbed Cliff Faces In The Obed River Gorge |
2009 |
322 |
The Obed River Gorge in Tennessee boasts one of the richest floras in the southeastern United States and is also a popular rock climbing destination. Many rare or endemic species have been found on cliff faces around the world, but the majority of th... |
| Species-Area Relationships of Cliff System Vegetational Communities in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park |
2013 |
2697 |
A vegetational survey of vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens was conducted on eleven discrete cliff systems in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park (CUGA) during the summer of 2011 and 2012. A total of 231 species were collected and identifie... |
| The Population Biology Of PELLAEA WRIGHTIANA Hooker, A Fern Disjunct In North Carolina |
1996 |
353 |
Pellaea wrightiana Hooker is a homosporous fern with a main range throughout most of the southwestern United States. In 1956, a small population of Pellaea wrightiana was discovered in Alexander County, North Carolina. In 1974, a second population wa... |
| A Preliminary Study Of Population Structure Of SIBBALDIOPSIS TRIDENTATA (AIT.) RYDG. (ROSACEAE) In The Eastern United States Using AFLP Markers |
2008 |
279 |
High-elevation habitats in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States have been shown to harbor many northern disjunct species. Prevailing theory is that populations in these habitats typically represent remnant-isolate populations from previousl... |
| Comparison Of The Cultural, Taxonomic And Ecological Aspects Of Medicinal Plants In Cameroon And North Carolina: Causes Of Rarity And Potential Solutions |
1999 |

2003 |
931 |
Cypripedium reginae is a terrestrial orchid with a boreal-temperate main range and a glacial-disjunct southern range primarily in the southern Appalachian Mountains. During the summer of 2001, tissue for allozyme and RAPD analysis was collected from ... |
| Physical Variables And Community Structure Of The White Rocks Cliff System, Cumberland Gap National Historic Park |
2007 |
281 |
Cliff-face ecology is the study of the patterns and processes which control cliff-face ecosystems (Larson et al. 2000). It is important to study cliff systems due to their cultural and biological significance. Cliff systems have been employed for she... |
