Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation During the hurricane period, 7.22% of stems and 4.72% of basal area died.
- Observation During the hurricane period, 4.72% of total basal area died.
- Observation Crown loss was the most frequent cause of mortality.
- Observation Hurricane mortality across tree species ranged from 0 to 26%.
- Observation Posthurricane mortality exceeded hurricane-period mortality and varied among species.
- Observation Posthurricane stem growth rates more than doubled overall, with species ranging from no significant increase to eightfold.
- Observation Eleven species were classified resistant, with low damage and response.
- Observation Five species were susceptible, with high damage and low response.
- Observation One species was resilient, with high damage and response.
- Observation Three species were usurpers, with low damage and high response.
- Association Damage-response groups were broadly related to species regeneration requirements.
- Association Most species with seedlings beneath closed canopy were resistant.
- Association Three of four species with seedlings on landslides were resistant.
- Association Gap-seedling species included resilient, susceptible and usurper groups, but were usually not resistant.
- Observation Authors project increased relative abundance of three usurper species.
- Observation Most other species are projected to have small abundance changes.
- Observation Hurricanes currently appear to have few long-term forest effects, though a changed disturbance regime may alter this.
