Identifier	Thesis 1588
Author	Groff, Cyd Roman
Title	Forest succession and tree dispersion patterns on a Connecticut traprock ridge : ten years after fire at Onion Mountain / Cyd Roman Groff
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2000
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	The traprock ridge environments of Connecticut and Massachusetts are unique and little studied. This project examined the combination of tree and shrub species, their abundance, their dispersion pattern, and the pattern of succession on the Onion Mountain traprock ridge ten years after an accidental fire. A current inventory of tree and shrub species was compared to the species previously reported in a 1985 executive summary. A census of trees at least 2.5cm diameter at breast height was taken. Tree species on the ridge have changed somewhat with Carya species remaining as the most abundant. Soil samples were taken in burned and control areas to determine nutrients currently available. Calcium was the only essential nutrient found to be at significantly different levels in the burned and control areas. Dead stems of Fraxinus americana were plotted using a Trimble GPS Pathfinder Pro XR. Random dispersion patterns of the most abundant tree species was determined using T-Square Distance Sampling. The National Vegetation Classification System was used to determine the importance of the vegetative community. The project study area on Onion Mountain was determined to be imperiled and requiring conservation measures. Succession in the traprock ridge study site is following patterns previously documented after disturbance.
