Cornus stolonifera, Salix petiolaris, and Spiraea alba
clones already located within the corridor of an electrical power line. To
establish the efficiency of treatments, we examined the statistical
differences of growth traits between species and treatments.
An analysis of the effects of layering shows, after the first growth season,
differences for all growth traits in only one species, Spiraea alba.
After the second growth season, we observed the development of new aerial
stems. Layering favors horizontal expansion of shrubs over height
development. The third year after treatment, the effect of layering is
reduced except for Cornus stolonifera, which continuously increases,
as shown by the significant progression of the clone issued from the layer
even five years after treatments. With the cutting back technique, we
expected a distinct vertical growth of the shrubs at the expense of
increasing the crown diameter. This technique would be best associated with
the rejuvenation of clones, followed by a layering of new shoots to allow a
horizontal expansion of the shrubs. Therefore, the formation of a dense shrub
community by layering should be considered a valuable approach for the
biological control of undesirable trees in powerline rights-of-way. 相似文献

Power line rights-of-way provide a major portion of the shrub habitat in New York. Since this habitat type is on the decline,
many of the birds dependent on shrub habitat are also declining. The methods used to control right-of-way vegetation could
therefore have serious impacts on several birds of conservation concern. Since New York is increasingly using selective herbicide
treatments in vegetation management, we sought to investigate the potential impacts of these treatments on nesting birds.
The study looked at plots in two adjacent rights-of-way before and after a selective herbicide treatment in one of the rights-of-way.
We investigated three bird species: alder flycatcher (Empidonax alnorum), chestnut-sided warbler (Dendroica pensylvanica), and gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis). All three species exhibited a preference for shrub vegetation around nest sites. The selective herbicide treatment did
not significantly decrease that shrub vegetation, and neither the density nor the nesting success of the three species declined
following the treatment. We conclude that selective herbicide vegetation management encourages the development of shrub habitat
without negatively impacting the birds nesting in the habitat. 相似文献

The purpose of our research was to identify shrub species growing in southern Quebec that inhibit ecological succession in
power-line corridors. Results are presented in three parts. First, clonal characteristics that allowed the establishment of
stable communities were identified. Second, successional vector analysis identified those species that have the potential
to inhibit succession. In poorly drained sites those species wereCornus stolonifera, C. obliqua, Salix petiolaris, andSpiraea alba. In well-drained sites, those species wereZanthoxylum americanum, Rubus idaeus, Spiraea alba, Rhus typhina, andThuja occidentalis. Third, analysis of variance showed that there is a significantly larger number of tree seedlings found in adjacent herbaceous
communities than found under the dense cover ofCornus stolonifera, C. obliqua, Salix petiolaris, Spiraea alba, Rhus typhina, Rubus idaeus, Thuya occidentalis, andZanthoxylum americanum. These results indicate that the planting of selected shrub species could, through biological control, delay reforestation. 相似文献
