Coastal Forests and Groundwater: Using Case Studies to Understand the Effects of Drivers and Stressors for Resource Management
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- What is the flooding threshold that influences the upland-wetland boundary, commonly defined in the coastal plain as marked by pine stands and bottomland hardwood species?
- Is the main factor the maximum ponding depth or the average length of the seasonal flooding, and alternatively, what could be the covariance if both factors are important?
- How will forest management practices such as the restoration of longleaf pine (P. palustris) insavanna habitats affect the water table dynamics and the water balance in this region?
2. The Role of Groundwater as a Driver on Forest Conditions
3. Foreseeable Pressures and Stressors on Coastal Forests
3.1. Groundwater Extraction
3.2. Geologic Materials Extraction
3.3. Paleoenvironmental Information Loss
4. Future Research Considerations
