“…Sample stands developed naturally in the absence of fire; however, some stands did have grapevines (Vitis spp.) removed approximately 20 years prior (Morrissey et al 2009). Harvest volumes from clearcuts (Morrissey et al 2008) indicated that species composition was sufficiently similar to reference stands of Van Kley (1993).…”

Multifactor ecological classification systems are being developed for many regions. An element of these systems not yet well understood is how disturbances, clearcutting in this instance, may alter the vegetative component of the classification units at the stand and landscape levels. We sampled 1,096 plots in 21-35 year old naturally regenerated clearcuts on the Hoosier National Forest (HNF) in south-central Indiana, USA. We examined overstory species composition of clearcut plots in comparison to reference plots (80? years old), both within and among six Ecological Landtype Phases (ELTPs) of two ecological sections using non-metric multidimensional scaling and non-metric multi-response permutation procedures. Clearcutting drastically changed species composition in comparison to reference plots within ELTPs ranging from mixed oak-dominated ridges and slopes to bottomland, cove hardwood communities; Quercus species on ridges and slopes were replaced by Liriodendron tulipifera L. and, to a lesser degree, Prunus serotina Ehrh. and Acer rubrum L., in ELTPs of both sections. Contrasts of overstory species composition of reference plots exhibited differences among ELTPs, but clearcut plots showed mixed results and indicated very similar species composition across all ELTPs. Autogenic factors are likely the main drivers of overstory composition of clearcut sites. Species composition of ELTPs will continue to develop in response to autogenic and allogenic factors over time, and differences among ELTPs may emerge in later stages of stand development as the effects of allogenic factors accumulate. It is expected that L. tulipifera, a long-lived species, will be a dominant species in terms of basal area and density of all ELTPs in mature stands.

“…As forest succession continues, fewer small diameter supports are available in the understory. Therefore, lianas present in old-growth forests often established in early succession and have grown up with the trees on which they established (Morrissey et al, 2009;Putz, 1984b;Schnitzler, 1995) or possess a climbing mechanism (i.e., roots) that allows them to ascend large diameter trees. The abundance of liana species that use different climbing mechanisms is also predicted to change with succession.…”

“…The ecology and impacts of temperate lianas on community processes, such as forest regenera-tion, are not fully understood. The lack of sufficient research on temperate liana ecology has not gone unnoticed and research has increased in recent years (Allen et al 2007, Ashton and Lerdau 2008, Leicht-Young et al 2009, Morrissey et al 2009). …”
