Abstract: After cutting forest understory Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) stands to ground level in northwestern Georgia, we assessed privet regrowth production and use by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), 1 yr post-treatment. We then assessed privet browse availability and crude protein (CP) content 2 and 3 growing seasons post-treatment on cut and uncut plots. Privet regrew vigorously and was used heavily by deer the first winter after cutting, but privet browse availability and crude protein content did not differ between cut vs. uncut plots 2 and 3 growing seasons post-treatment. Although our sample sizes were too small to demonstrate an increase in privet browse availability after cutting, this practice may be a sustainable and inexpensive way of maintaining deer forage availability, as privet often grows out of reach of deer.

Abstract: Exotic plants and overabundant wildlife are apparent indicators of disturbed habitats, yet few studies have investigated their interactions. Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) is an abundant, exotic shrub in the southeastern United states, yet little is known about its forage value to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). We quantified the seasonal importance of privet browse and fruit in the food habits of deer at Chickamauga Battlefield Park (CBP) in Georgia, and we determined seasonal cycles in crude protein (CP) content from privet browse. Analyses of rumen samples from 146 deer collected during 32 consecutive months (1992-94) revealed total privet (browse and fruit) averaged 11.1% of rumen volume during fall and 13.3% during winter. Fall consumption of privet browse increased almost 2 times, and privet fruit consumption >20 times in a fall of low acorn consumption. Winter browse surveys conducted in February for 2 years revealed privet browse composed >50% of available browse and >75% of browse used. Privet browse maintained a CP content >12% in all months. These results suggest privet is an important component of the fall and winter diets of CBP deer and may serve as a nutritional buffer during years of acorn scarcity. The value of privet as a deer forage must be weighed against the threat it poses to biodiversity conservation.

Abstract: Seven species of vascular plants are added to the flora of Oklahoma: Dioscorea oppositifolia, Lythrum salicaria, Momordica balsamina, Polygonum cuspidatum, Pyrus calleyana, Senecio culgaris, and Verbena rigida. These species are either weedy invaders or escaped ornamentals. The re-collection of Epilobium coloratum, a native, and Mazus japonicus and Scuttellaria cardiophyla is noted. The spread of two additional exotics, Fatoua villosa and Ligustrum sinense, is discussed.

Title: Interaction of irradiance and soil nutrient supply on growth of seedlings of ten European tall-shrub species and Fagus sylvatica.

Abstract: Seedlings of 10 European tall-shrub species and the shade-tolerant tree Fagus sylvatica were grown at 0.3, 1.6, 11, and 63% daylight for 110 days on chalk grassland soil, and on a more nutrient-rich soil developed under Crataegus monogyna. Crataegus monogyna, Fagus, Juniperus communis, Cornus sanguinea, Ligustrum vulgare and Rosa canina suffered high mortality in 0.3% daylight, but only the first three had losses in 1.6%. Overall mortality in deep shade (0.3, 1.6%) was considerably lower in Euonymus europaeus, Rhamnus catharticus, Viburnum lantana and V. opulus. Average mortality in deep shade on grassland soil was negatively correlated with embryo-cum-endosperm dry mass (EEM). Overall mortality in deep shade was significantly greater with higher nutrient supply. In 63% daylight relative growth rate (RGR) was negatively correlated with log EEM, and positively with specific leaf area (SLA, leaf area/leaf dry mass) at time of planting but not at final harvest, i.e. differences in RGR were determined more by unit leaf rate (rate of dry mass gain/leaf area) in the latter part of the experiment. The responses of the species to irradiance and nutrient supply were appreciably different. Cornus, Ligustrum, Prunus spinosa, Rhamnus, and Rosa increased yield strongly under high irradiance on nutrient-poor soil, and responded also markedly to nutrients. Viburnum lantana and Euonymus grew relatively slowly in all treatments, but the former was responsive to nutrients, even in deep shade. Viburnum opulus was more responsive to irradiance but responded to nutrients only in 11% daylight. Crataegus grew more slowly on its 'own' soil than on grassland soil. Juniperus differed consistently from the other species, growing slowly, and Abstract responding strongly to irradiance. Fagus responded moderately to irradiance and not to nutrient supply. In shade allocation to roots decreased, while allocation to stem and to leaves increased generally. All species produced a smaller number and total area of leaves, and increased SLA and leaf area ratio (leaf area/total dry mass). Shoot and root lengths were reduced in shade. The results are discussed in relation to the roles of the various species during secondary succession, and their regeneration niches.

Abstract: Flowering, fruit production, and seed dispersal by birds of two exotic plants (Ligustrum lucidum Ait. and Ligustrum sinense Lour.) were studied from 1986 to 1988 in a riparian forest relict located in central Argentina. L. lucidum has heavily invaded this forest whereas L. sinense has been less successful. This fact is not clearly explained either by L. sinense's lower fruit/flower ratio (14% vs. 21%) or by its lower seed production. Eleven native bird species living permanently in the area eat fruits of both introduced plants. Of these, only three species are important for effective seed dispersal, while two other destroy the seeds. The population of the main seed predator increases considerably during the availability period of ripe Ligustrum fruits. Dispersal mode varies according to different species (isolated seeds or clumps of seeds). Migrant fruiteating birds are not involved in seed dispersal of these plants. Ligustrum lucidum and L. sinense are perfectly naturalized in the area. Avian seed dispersal is apparently not essential for Ligustrum perpetuation although such dispersal was probably instrumental in colonization. There were no significant differences in germination between bird-dispersed seeds and those that had not passed through the birds' digestive tracts.
