The Effects of Flooding on Wildlife in Bottomland Hardwood and Xero-hydric Flatwood Systems

Increased disturbances associated with climate change have altered ecosystems and increased their sensitivity to disturbance. Quantifying changes in wildlife behaviors, community dynamics, and diversity during and after disturbance regimes can provide information to land managers and the public about the importance of these disturbances and the necessity for them in areas with a high diversity and abundance of disturbance obligate species. We placed cameras at 85 systematically random points within two systems on the Clark’s River National Wildlife Refuge to evaluate the effects of disturbance on mammalian and avian occupancy, abundance, and diversity in areas with diverse flooding regimes. We plan to compare data on a year-to-year basis to monitor and observe any correlations present with flooding events. Due to the logistical issues associated with camera trapping in regularly flooded areas, very little camera surveillance has taken place in mesic systems. We have collected a large amount of data that will both help us to better understand the distributions and movements of species within these unique ecosystems and inform land managers when making management decisions about these environments

Ep. #154 - Evan Berry
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cymene and Dominic rediscover the Violent Femmes on this week's podcast and that prompts a discussion of the best albums of all time. We then (18:54) welcome American U’s Evan Berry to the podcast, author of Devoted to Nature: The Religious Roots of American Environmentalism (U California Press, 2015) and the PI of a Luce Foundation funded project on “Religion and Climate Change in Cross-Regional Comparison.” We start with the Pope and his views on climate change and then quickly move on to Evan’s argument that much apparently secular environmentalist thinking has deep affinities with Christian theology. We revisit Lynn White’s famous argument that Christianity devalues nature, discuss the need to move past “great man” narratives of the evolution of environmentalism, and ruminate on what 19th century Christian environmentalists considered to be the “moral salubriousness of nature.” Evan shares his thoughts on how Protestant nominalism may have informed American climate denialism over time and also about how walking as a form of “recreational salvation” became linked to the valorization of wilderness. We discuss whether American Christianity is exceptional in terms of climate morality and why American political culture has become an incubator for religious radicalism. We then turn to how climate change is now impacting religious systems across the world and how better intergenerational ethics might teach us to think collectively rather than individually. Finally, we discuss another recent book project Evan has undertaken with Rob Albro, Church, Cosmovision, and the Environment: Religion and Social Conflict in Contemporary Latin America (Routledge 2018)
