Economics of invasive species policy and management (2017, background): “Similarly, a forest owner may overlook the impacts of preemptive harvesting in response to an anticipated pest invasion on the structure and function of the forest ecosystem (Kizlinski et al. 2002).”
Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “This reduces GPP but increases the transmittance of solar irradiance to the forest floor, resulting in increased rates of decomposition and mineralization of soil organic matter (Jenkins et al., 1999; Kizlinski et al., 2002).”
Vegetation dynamics in declining eastern hemlock stands: 9 years of forest response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation (2006, background): “2003), the gradual thinning of the hemlock canopy caused by HWA infestation is a novel occurrence in hemlock forests that may result in fundamentally different responses (Kizlinski et al. 2002).”
Role of winter temperature and climate change on the survival and future range expansion of the hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) in eastern North America (2008, background): “Ecosystem responses to adelgid infestation have been studied at several scales by Jenkins et al. (1999), Kizlinski et al. (2002), and Stadler et al. (2005).”
Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “The potential impacts of widespread hemlock mortality include changes in forest composition, structure, nutrient cycling, surface water quality, and populations of associated wildlife (e.g., Jenkins et al. 1999; Kizlinski et al. 2002; Tingley et al. 2002; Ross et al. 2003).”
Direct and indirect effects of alien insect herbivores on ecological processes and interactions in forests of eastern North America (2010, background): “), sedges (Cyperaceae), and hay-scented fern (Kizlinski et al. 2002; Orwig and Kizlinski 2002).”
A foundation tree at the precipice: Tsuga canadensis health after the arrival of Adelges tsugae in central New England (2012, background): “Based on previous experience (Kizlinski et al. 2002, Orwig et al. 2002) and greater overall rates of timber harvesting in this study region (Thompson et al. 2011), we predicted even more pre-emptive and salvage logging.”
Understory vegetation in old-growth and second-growth Tsuga canadensis forests in western Massachusetts (2009, background): “…gaps within the hemlock stands we 23 sampled (A. W. D’Amato, personal observation), as well as by the tremendous increase of these 1 species observed in the sapling layer of hemlock forests defoliated by hemlock woolly adelgid 2 (Orwig and Foster 1998, Kizlinski et al. 2002, Stadler et al. 2005).”
Avian response to removal of a forest dominant: consequences of hemlock woolly adelgid infestations (2002, background): “The results of Kizlinksi et al. (2002) demonstrated that understory composition is broadly similar whether hemlock stands are cut or deteriorate and die on site because of HWA infestation.”
Experimentally testing the role of foundation species in forests: the Harvard Forest Hemlock Removal Experiment (2010, background): “Associated species such as white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) are also removed to increase revenue from the logging operations (Kizlinski et al. 2002).”
Ecological effects of invasive alien insects (2008, background): “A major effect of Eastern hemlock mortality caused by the adelgid is a dramatic increase in inorganic N availability and nitrification rates, resulting in nitrate leaching in regions experiencing adelgid infestations (Jenkins et al. 1999; Kizlinski et al. 2002).”
Silvicultural strategies in forest ecosystems affected by introduced pests (2005, background): “Nonaffected tree species may be negatively impacted, as they are likely to be included in the harvest operation (Kizlinski et al., 2002).”
Ecosystem to regional impacts of introduced pests and pathogens: historical context, questions and issues (2002, background): “The subsequent study by Kizlinski et al. (2002) contrasts the rate, magnitude and quality of vegetation and ecosystem responses to HWA vs. logging and relates these to differences in site conditions, microenvironmental change and disturbance intensity.”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, background): “Drier organic horizons are consistent with those observed in other heavily HWAdamaged stands because of higher evaporative losses at the soil surface (Kizlinski et al. 2002).”
Landscape patterns of hemlock decline in New England due to the introduced hemlock woolly adelgid (2002, background): “The contrasts and interactions between HWA-induced mortality and logging are largely unknown, but initial results suggest that both disturbances lead to profound changes in the structure and composition of these forests (Kizlinski et al., 2002; Orwig & Kizlinski, 2002).”
A geographically variable model of hemlock woolly adelgid spread (2007, background): “Many land managers are harvesting hemlock based on the threat posed by the HWA in advance of its actual impact (Kizlinski et al. 2002).”
