SUMMARY:Influence of resources\, Invasive Chinese Tallow\, and environmental stress on bottomland forest species
DESCRIPTION:Register for this webinar \nNovember 19\, 2025\n11:00 a.m. – Noon ET \nPresenter: Zhongqian Cheng \nThe survival and growth of bottomland tree species in floodplain ecosystems are largely driven by species-specific resource and environmental conditions\, and invasive Chinese tallow presences. Unpredictable timing and duration of hydroperiods have introduced greater uncertainty in seedling survival and growth. Dr. Cheng will present findings from one field study and two controlled greenhouse studies on several bottomland forest seedlings. These studies examined the underground and aboveground conditions needed for seedling survival and the response of seedling height growth to the presence of Chinese tallow\, shade\, and flooding conditions. We will discuss the management implications for monitoring bottomland forest restoration and controlling invasive species. \nPresenter Bio: \nI am currently a postdoc research associate in Forest Ecology and Management at Stephen F. Austin State University. I hold a PhD in Ecology from Peking University\, a master’s degree in Silviculture\, and a bachelor’s degree in Forestry from Beijing Forestry University. In addition\, I have worked or studied in Sweden\, Finland\, and Germany. My research interests focus on understanding forest dynamics and functions\, and the role of silviculture practices in supporting sustainable forest management under changing climate and disturbance regimes. \nThis webinar is approved for 1 Category 1 continuing education credit through SAF. \n \nThis webinar is sponsored by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
