Effects of Hydrology and Applied Gibberellic Acid and Paclobutrazol on the Growth of the Invasive Exotic Lygodium Microphyllum (Old World Climbing Fern)

Effects of Hydrology and Applied Gibberellic Acid and Paclobutrazol on the Growth of the Invasive Exotic Lygodium Microphyllum (Old World Climbing Fern).
Creator
Gandiaga, Sonia, Volin, John C., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
I conducted a greenhouse study in order to examine the effects of hydrology and its interaction with gibberellic acid (GA3) on the invasive exotic Lygodium microphyllum (Old World climbing fern) growth and physiology. Three hydrological (flood, drought and field capacity) and three hormonal (gibberellic acid, paclobutrazol and water) treatments were studied using a 3x3 factorial experimental design. Plants under flooded conditions had a significantly lower relative growth rate compared to...
Show moreI conducted a greenhouse study in order to examine the effects of hydrology and its interaction with gibberellic acid (GA3) on the invasive exotic Lygodium microphyllum (Old World climbing fern) growth and physiology. Three hydrological (flood, drought and field capacity) and three hormonal (gibberellic acid, paclobutrazol and water) treatments were studied using a 3x3 factorial experimental design. Plants under flooded conditions had a significantly lower relative growth rate compared to plants under field capacity or drought. Plants under flooded conditions showed a significantly lower specific leaf area and area-based photosynthetic rate than plants under field capacity and drought treatments, resulting in significantly lower massbased photosynthesis. Overall, the variation in growth response to treatments was most explained by mass-based photosynthesis (r^2=0.66). Treatments with gibberellic acid or paclobutrazol (GA inhibitor) resulted in no differences in growth as compared to untreated plants.

examination of botanical substructures as symbolic communication: The carved stone monuments of the Cotzumalguapa Nuclear Zone, Guatemala
Title
An examination of botanical substructures as symbolic communication: The carved stone monuments of the Cotzumalguapa Nuclear Zone, Guatemala.
Creator
Kerr, Debora Claire., Florida Atlantic University, Kennedy, William J.
Abstract/Description
The Cotzumalguapa Nuclear Zone is located on the Pacific slope of Guatemala. A portion of the carved stone monuments associated with this zone exhibits a unique combination of botanical symbols as a concomitant to central portrait figuration. This botanical style, found elsewhere in Mesoamerica, includes leaf, flower, fruit, and complex tabbed speech scroll/vine motifs intertwined with other non-botanical symbols. The resulting style can be interpreted as an "envisioned form" of symbolic...
Show moreThe Cotzumalguapa Nuclear Zone is located on the Pacific slope of Guatemala. A portion of the carved stone monuments associated with this zone exhibits a unique combination of botanical symbols as a concomitant to central portrait figuration. This botanical style, found elsewhere in Mesoamerica, includes leaf, flower, fruit, and complex tabbed speech scroll/vine motifs intertwined with other non-botanical symbols. The resulting style can be interpreted as an "envisioned form" of symbolic communication. This thesis examines, isolates and quantifies the botanical elements, their placement and suggests comparisons with plant species known to facilitate altered state spiritual communication.

FROST'S FLOWERS. (ROBERT FROST)
Title
FROST'S FLOWERS. (ROBERT FROST).
Creator
CONFORTI, DIANE LYNNE., Florida Atlantic University, Pearce, Howard D.
Abstract/Description
This thesis, a study of approximately eighty Robert Frost poems in which the word flower or a specific flower appears, attempts to correlate botanical information with poetic technique. The thesis progresses along the lines of complexity and accumulation, dividing the poems into three interlocking groups based upon the flower's use. In the first stage, the flower is simply an emotional projection of the speaker. In the second more developed stage, the flower is a persona in the poem,...
Show moreThis thesis, a study of approximately eighty Robert Frost poems in which the word flower or a specific flower appears, attempts to correlate botanical information with poetic technique. The thesis progresses along the lines of complexity and accumulation, dividing the poems into three interlocking groups based upon the flower's use. In the first stage, the flower is simply an emotional projection of the speaker. In the second more developed stage, the flower is a persona in the poem, exhibiting a force of its own which impels the speaker toward union with men. The flower, in the third and most complex stage blending the two previous characteristics, is both an emotional projection of the speaker's fears about survival and a persona of nature which teaches man about the futility of trying to subjugate or impede nature in her cyclical movement. In Frost, the flower is a positive symbol, usually serving as an intermediary or agent, which tends to be a means of union between man and nature, man and man, or man and himself.

Nature's Place in Zora Neale Hurston's "John Redding Goes to Sea," "Magnolia Flower," and "Sweat"
Title
Nature's Place in Zora Neale Hurston's "John Redding Goes to Sea," "Magnolia Flower," and "Sweat".
Creator
Redman, F. Russell, Stover, Johnnie, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
Zora Neale Hurston is recognized as an important American literary figure, but the majority of her fiction is overshadowed by the critical attention given to her most popular novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Just as her short stories remain relatively ignored by critics, little is written about her thoughts regarding nature and the human relationship with the natural environment. This thesis draws upon the recent growth of ecocriticism and ecofeminist literary criticism in an attempt to...
Show moreZora Neale Hurston is recognized as an important American literary figure, but the majority of her fiction is overshadowed by the critical attention given to her most popular novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Just as her short stories remain relatively ignored by critics, little is written about her thoughts regarding nature and the human relationship with the natural environment. This thesis draws upon the recent growth of ecocriticism and ecofeminist literary criticism in an attempt to interpret Hurston's environmental thought as manifested in three of her early short stories, "John Redding Goes to Sea," "Magnolia Flower," and "Sweat." In this study, I show that even in her early short stories, Hurston's fiction is ripe with imagery and narrative that blend the natural with the cultural while effectively illustrating and engaging the interconnectedness between social inequality and environmental degradation in the South.
